A Plan to Relocate Pardes to the

Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

Growth Has Been a Constant for Pardes

• Began in 1993 as “The Solel School” with 12 kindergartners.

• As the new school added grades, other area synagogues joined Temple Solel in a partnership to support the school, and it was renamed Pardes Jewish Day School.

• In 2002, Pardes opened a middle school at Temple Kol Ami.

• In 2003, the lower and middle schools were consolidated on the Temple Beth Israel campus.

• In 2006, Pardes bought the current five-acre campus in Phoenix.

• With more than 260 students, Pardes is the largest Jewish day school in Arizona.

“If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.”

Why the Ina LevineJewish Community Campus?

• The JCC preschool has 200-250 students. As a strong Jewish preschool, the physical proximity to the day school affords great opportunity to build relationships with early childhood families, to sustain and grow Pardes’ enrollment.

• A sprawling campus with state-of-the-art facilities that include athletic fields, pool, and gymnasium.

• Location, location, location.

Benefits for Pardes

• Greater ability to compete with charter schools.

• Greater enrollment, along with changes at the JTO, will provide significant additional resources to make day school affordable. Enrollment levels of 350 to 400 could provide resources of $2,500 to $3,000 per student.

• Opportunity to restructure debt on Paradise Lane campus.
