Jennifer LeVine

Jennifer LeVine is in her seventh year as Head of School, where she has led transformative growth across the school. Under her leadership, the school has undergone a historic name change, opened its first-ever infant class, introduced an affordable tuition initiative, and significantly increased enrollment in both the Early Childhood and Elementary divisions, making the school one of the largest early childhood-5th grade Jewish day schools in the country. A proud Jewish day school graduate, Jennifer grew up in Los Angeles and has dedicated her entire professional life to Jewish education. She holds a B.A. in History and Political Science from Loyola Marymount University, an M.A. in Education from Pepperdine University, and is beginning her doctoral studies (Ed.D.) in Early Childhood Education Leadership at American Jewish University. Before her current role, she served in educational leadership positions at Kadima Day School in Los Angeles and Akiba Academy in Dallas. Jennifer is the 2025 recipient of the Harold Reingold Yavneh Award for Jewish Educators and the 2023 recipient of the Rabbi Jack Segal Excellence in Education Award. She and her husband, Joel, are proud parents of three children—Aiden (17), Alex (10), and Amelia (10)—and are deeply committed to Jewish life, learning, and community. As an educator and mother, Jennifer is devoted to creating nurturing, developmentally responsive environments where children thrive.
