The Next 50 Years of Excellence for Brandeis Hillel Day School

Donald Zimring, Ph.D., Head of School 

As we enter the 50th year of BHDS as an institution, our legacy of growth and strength will serve as the compass for our journey into the next 50 years.

That journey will witness BHDS evolving into a fully developed twenty-first-century school where our students learn to be not only successful collaborators and innovators, capable of engaging locally in their communities and globally as citizens, but also good people. People whose academic achievements are surpassed only by the quality of their character - infused with an innovative and profound Jewish studies program and our core values of kindness, integrity and service.

I’m honored to serve as the new Head of School, and look forward to leading our students, our faculty and our institution into the next 50 years of excellence.
