  1. A Plan to Relocate Pardes to the Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

  2. Growth Has Been a Constant forPardes • 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.”

  3. Why the Ina Levine Jewish CommunityCampus? • 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Pardes on Campus: Benefits to the Community • 285-300 students and 50 faculty members on the campus every day, engaging with various agencies (JCC, Council for Jews with Special Needs, Bureau of Jewish Education, BBYO, B’nai Tzedek, etc.) • Increasing connection between Pardes families and the broader Jewish community will help to achieve a vibrant, enriching, sustaining and inclusive community in the heart of the Jewish Community Campus. • Collaboration, synergy and economics of scale created by having Pardes relocated to the campus benefits the entire Jewish community.

  6. Pardes on Campus: Benefits to the Community (continued) • The opportunity to more easily cultivate the next generation of Jewish leaders – they will know, live and understand the benefits of being part of the Jewish community. • JCC preschool as a feeder to Jewish day school education. • Exposure to many new families to Jewish communal life. • Campus to become more of the “central address” of the Jewish community.

  7. Anticipated Costs: $2.7 Million • Two-Story Middle School: • $1,553,000 • Kosher Kitchen: • $350,000 • Kindergarten Classroom: • $115,000 • Five New Offices: • $107,000 • Playscape: • $425,000 • Campus Renovation: • $150,000 New Playscape New Kindergarten classroom New Offices New Middle School building New Kosher kitchen
