What Scheck Hillel Community School does

Scheck Hillel Community School is a private Jewish day school located in North Miami Beach, Florida, founded in 1970 and incorporated as Scheck Hillel Community School, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The school delivers a PK3 through Grade 12 college preparatory education organized into three divisions — the Juda and Maria Diener Lower School, the Samuel and Henrietta Scheck Middle School, and the Ben Lipson Upper School — operating across a 14-acre campus that includes a 115,000-sq.-ft athletic complex. Its academic model combines a rigorous secular college-preparatory curriculum with comprehensive Judaic studies (a dual curriculum), and offers 25 Advanced Placement courses, 9 academic honor societies, 89 AP Scholar Awards, STEM and design programming, a Capstone project, college dual enrollment, arts, athletics, college counseling, an Israel Gap Year program, and the Gilinski Hillel Ambassador Program. The school reports a 100% college matriculation rate, faculty with an average of 18 years of teaching experience, and 60% of faculty holding advanced degrees; it has been designated a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education.

The school's revenue model rests on two recurring streams: tuition and fees for enrolled students from PK3 through Grade 12 (with financial assistance available — 148 students received aid), and donations and fundraising through the Annual Lion Fund, Kulanu Scholarship Fund, Sponsorship Opportunities, Business Partners, Senior Bricks, Day of Learning, Tribute Cards, and an alumni giving program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is a traditional admissions-driven enrollment process, with prospective family engagement through campus events such as 'Kadima to Kindergarten' and 'Bereshit: A Great Beginning,' inquiries and applications managed via the school's website and the mySchoolApp platform, and ongoing community engagement across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and publications such as Kol Hillel and the Annual Report. The customer base is regional — families in the Miami metropolitan area seeking private Jewish education — and the school maintains a financial partnership with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. Headcount is stated at 251-500 employees; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The school is currently in a Head of School transition, with Rabbi Leubitz's contract term ending June 2027 and a national search underway via Tradition Search Partners.
