Welcome to Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School, a kindergarten through eighth grade school located in Palo Alto, California.

Founded in 1989, we are committed to promoting academic excellence, community responsibility, and vibrant Jewish living. As a community day school, Hausner serves families from a wide range of Jewish backgrounds and religious practices.

Today we enroll 400 students and provide an exceptional education in science, math, history, literature, Jewish studies, Hebrew language, music, fine arts, sports, and technology. The academic excellence of our program is built on rigorous standards, exceptional faculty, and small student to teacher ratios.

We invite you to visit our classrooms during school hours so that you can experience our community spirit and see our students and faculty in action. Please contact our Director of Admission to schedule your personal tour.
