历史与传统

Och夫人学院 (originally named Solomon Schechter Day School of Essex and Union) was founded in 1965 and was one of 70 Solomon Schechter Day Schools in the United States and Canada, and became the only Pre-K through 12th grade Solomon Schechter school. Our founders believed that an excellent education for Jewish students should include a grounding in the culture, 历史, 和犹太教的语言, 他们创造了一个充满活力和严格的双重课程.
Students at the school were raised in the twin traditions of academic excellence and love of Judaism and Israel. 学校在最初的12年里不断发展壮大, expanding from a primary school to a full-fledged academy educating students from Kindergarten through the 12th grade. 1977年,永利总站第一个毕业班毕业了. The school currently occupies two campuses in West Orange, located about two miles apart.

感谢戈尔达·奥奇一家的慷慨解囊, 学校于2010年更名为戈尔达·奥奇学院. 每个毕业班, 永利总站的学生继续进入顶尖的学院和大学, moving into realms of leadership and achieving success in fields from law and medicine to finance and government. Our students and 校友 have embodied the dream of excellence that began in 1965 when the school was born.
“Solomon Schechter is the place where I first realized that Judaism didn’t belong in a box. 塔纳赫课并不是律法唯一重要的时候, 神不是只有在民言的时候才重要, Neshama并不是以色列唯一重要的时刻. My time at Schechter is when I began to realize that all of those things should be woven throughout each day, 事实上,在永利总站的一生中.”
