of Jewish backgrounds and practices, combining a well-rounded general studies education with
meaningful Jewish studies and Hebrew language instruction.
Hausner fosters academic growth together with social
and emotional development to engage students,
nurturing curiosity and instilling a passion for lifelong
learning.
As befits a school located in the heart of Silicon Valley,
Hausner offers a dynamic educational environment
that encourages independent thinking through an
innovative K-8 curriculum incorporating Project-Based
Learning, integrated STEM instruction, and the creative
use of technology.
As it marks its twenty-fifth anniversary this fall,
Hausner is celebrating the opening of a magnificent
new Center for Arts and Athletics, made possible by a
successful capital campaign that has raised nearly $14
million.
For a position to begin in July 2016, Hausner is
seeking a visionary educational leader to position the
school for a future of growth and continued
excellence.

MISSION STATEMENT
To promote academic excellence, community responsibility,

CORE VALUES
LEARNING:
The Hausner curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and project-based learning, providing a dynamic environment that encourages each child to
flourish. Students acquire the tools for independent thinking, and emerge as life-long learners and community leaders.
COMMUNITY:
We provide an inclusive and supportive community for K-8 students and their families. Our school reflects the diversity of the Jewish community
in America. We welcome Jewish families of different traditions, and view this diversity as a sign and source of our people's continuing strength
and vitality.
RESPECT:
We believe that the atmosphere for learning is as important as the academic curriculum. We foster a culture of respect, tolerance, and
acceptance inside and beyond the Hausner community. The Hausner curriculum emphasizes concern for our world and environment, the
responsibility of Tikkun Olam.
TORAH:
We study Jewish texts as an essential element of Jewish education. We approach these texts in a spirit of reverence and intellectual openness.
Our curriculum draws upon the insights of commentators and scholars from every age to illuminate textual study, and to encourage active
dialogue. Hausner is egalitarian; students have equal roles in all aspects of Jewish life, including the fulfillment of mitzvot. We nurture each child's
mind and spirit, and encourage children and families to learn together.
ISRAEL:
Our school emphasizes the special relationship of Jews everywhere to the State of Israel, its land and people. We teach responsibility for the
Jewish people, Am Israel. The Hausner curriculum instills a love of the Hebrew language. Hebrew literacy and fluency unlock the richness of
Jewish literature, and connect our students with Jews everywhere.
COMPASSION:
Our curriculum responds to the intellectual and developmental needs of our students. Children learn in an environment where they feel safe and
supported, so they may develop strong and ethical voices. We create opportunities for our students and families to act compassionately in our
community and beyond.
JUSTICE:
Our school honors Gideon Hausner, the great Israeli jurist and statesman. As Attorney General, Hausner worked to build the modern Israeli
system of justice, and to outlaw international terrorism. We are proud to be associated with this great leader whose life was dedicated to Jewish
values, justice, education, and the state of Israel.

DEFINING STRENGTHS & UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES
Hausner traces its roots to a group of parents who gathered in a living room in the late 1980s. Seeking a strong academic
program in a warm and supportive setting; an accepting, pluralistic environment where Jewish families would feel comfortable
and included; and an egalitarian school where students could participate fully in Jewish and secular activities, they founded MidPeninsula Jewish Community Day School. The school would be renamed Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School in 2003.
While the school has continued to evolve and expand its offerings, it still holds true to what originally made it such an attractive
option for Jewish families in the Silicon Valley: a comprehensive and engaging academic program, a strong sense of community,
the passing on of Jewish values and traditions, and a nurturing environment that cultivates a love of learning in the children.
Members of the school community point to the faculty’s attention to the social and emotional development of students in
addition to their academic progress as one of the school’s signature strengths. Another key attribute is Hausner’s K-8 structure,
which promotes especially warm relationships among students across all of the grade levels and a healthy environment for
Middle School students as they assume the role of leaders within the school community.
Hausner has thrived in large measure through the dedicated efforts of a talented faculty and administration, committed parents,
and other supporters who have stepped up throughout the school’s 25-year history to ensure its continued success.
THE STUDENTS
A truly inclusive community day school, Hausner welcomes families affiliated with all branches of Judaism, as well as secular,
unaffiliated, and interfaith families. Approximately one-third of Hausner’s families are Israeli, including some in the country
temporarily and some who have resettled in the area. Students are drawn from many Silicon Valley neighborhoods, from San
Mateo to San Jose. Prospective students are screened for readiness, not aptitude, and the school enrolls students with a broad
range of academic abilities. Economic diversity is supported through a generous financial aid budget, which this year is providing
$1.16 million in support to 30 percent of the student body. Students are friendly, eager, and report that they love their school!
The success of the school’s academic program is evident each year in the results of CTP testing administered by the Educational
Records Bureau. Hausner students in grades 3-8 typically achieve a median score in the 90th percentile or higher in all testing
4
categories, outpacing results achieved by independent and public schools in suburbs with similar demographics. In a reflection
of Hausner’s mission of promoting community responsibility and vibrant Jewish living, current students play a significant
leadership role in philanthropic endeavors, most notably through Hausner’s award-winning Avodah La'Olam Philanthropy Fund
project. Young alumni continue this sense of responsibility as active participants and Board members in a variety of Jewish
organizations, including BBYO, Jewish Teen Foundation, and AIPAC Youth.
Hausner graduates attend a wide range of local public and private schools. Among recent placements are Castilleja School,
Crystal Springs Uplands School, Harker School, Henry M. Gunn High School, Homestead High School, Kehillah Jewish High
School, Los Altos High School, Menlo School, Menlo-Atherton High School, Mountain View High School, The Nueva School, and
Palo Alto High School. The school’s alumni have also achieved an impressive college placement record. Over the past five years,
Hausner alumni have enrolled in colleges and universities including, among others, Bennington, Brandeis, Brown, Cal Poly,
Carleton, Carnegie Mellon, Claremont McKenna, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Harvey Mudd, Johns Hopkins, MIT, Middlebury,
Oberlin, Pitzer, Princeton, Rhode Island School of Design, Scripps, Smith, Stanford, Tufts, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz,
UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, USC, University of Chicago, and Yale.
THE FACULTY
With an average tenure of more than a decade at Hausner, the
dedicated faculty clearly embodies the school’s mission and
values. Committed to differentiated instruction, teachers inspire
and engage their students within a classroom environment that
is warm and encouraging. Students and faculty interact on a
first-name basis, promoting an egalitarian spirit and unusually
close relationships.
Faculty collaboration and training has been a longstanding norm
and practice at Hausner, with grade-level teams of teachers coplanning the curriculum. Ongoing professional development, a
focus of the current strategic plan, is highly valued and targeted
to the educational initiatives now under way.
Hausner is also an affiliate school of the DeLeT program, a
national initiative through which DeLeT fellows, preparing for careers in Jewish day schools, are guided and trained by Hausner
mentor teachers.
ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNANCE
Head of School Julie Smith has led Hausner for the past eight years, overseeing the development of the 2013-18 Strategic Plan
and the ambitious L’Dor VaDor Capital Campaign and facilities expansion, as well as a number of forward-looking educational
and administrative initiatives. Senior administrators reporting to the Head include the Principal of Academic Studies, the Principal
of Jewish Studies/Hebrew (though the position is vacant and being restructured this year), the Chief Financial Officer, the
Director of Development, the Director of Admissions, the Director of Marketing and Communications, the Director of Technology
and Communication, and the Assistant to the Head.
Hausner is governed by a 23-member Board of Directors composed of parents, alumni parents, grandparents, and community
members. Student alumni have also served on the Board in the past. Members are elected to renewable two-year terms at the
school's annual meeting.
Reflecting the entrepreneurial nature of Silicon Valley, Hausner benefits from an engaged parent body that has high
expectations and plays an important role in the life of the school. All Hausner parents are members of Parent Kesher (Hebrew for
“connection”), which sponsors community-building and community service activities, staff appreciation initiatives, parent
education programs, a room parents network, and other opportunities for parents to connect and volunteer their services.

LOCATION AND FACILITIES
Located in Palo Alto just 45 minutes from San Francisco, Hausner finds itself in an exciting hotbed of innovation, surrounded
within seven miles by some of the world’s premier academic and technological institutions such as Stanford University, Google,
and Facebook. Just down the street a few blocks away are the Oshman Family Jewish Community Center and Kehillah Jewish
High School, and within the school’s immediate community, there are approximately 10 congregations with a large variety of
Jewish affiliations, ranging from independent to Orthodox.
The campus itself spans four acres and boasts three buildings,
including a newly opened 17,640-square-foot Center for Arts &
Athletics. This new building houses an indoor pavilion that
functions seamlessly as a gymnasium, theater, and assembly space
as well as dedicated music and art studios. With this new space
comes many new opportunities for Hausner, both from a program
and community gathering perspective. The Hausner community can
now gather in one place for assemblies and school-wide events,
and sports games
can be hosted at
home. There are
newly expanded
and renovated spaces used for STEM and design thinking activities in the
Raizin Building, including renovated science labs and “maker” spaces.
Benefiting from the moderate climate of Northern California, the campus also
capitalizes on its outdoor space throughout the year, where children enjoy
playing on the playground, the two athletic fields, and an outdoor basketball
court.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School offers an enriching educational program that integrates general studies (science, math,
history, and literature), Jewish studies, Hebrew language, fine arts, music, sports, and technology. The curriculum emphasizes
important 21st century learning skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creative use
of technology, providing a dynamic environment that encourages independent thinking.
Teaching to the whole child, the school focuses on social and emotional growth along with academic development. With
student-teacher ratios of 12 to 1 in grades K-5 and class sizes ranging from 6 to 20 in grades 6-8, the school offers instruction
carefully tailored to students’ needs and interests. Hausner also provides a wide array of enrichment activities, from chess to
title-winning sports teams.
The Jewish studies curriculum promotes joyful Jewish learning and fosters a positive Jewish identity. Students learn Jewish history
in tandem with world history to strengthen the connection between the two. From Kindergarten through eighth grade, the
Hebrew Program accommodates various levels of proficiency. Through the study of the Hebrew language and Jewish texts,
community celebrations, and weekly prayer services, Jewish studies and celebrations are brought to life. Students explore
religious traditions and values in increasing depth as they move through the K-8 program, capping their experience with an 8th
grade trip to Israel.

CURRICULAR INNOVATIONS
As a school committed to academic excellence
and to meeting the high expectations of its
Silicon Valley families, Hausner has positioned
itself at the forefront of 21st century education.
Project-Based
Learning
is
incorporated
throughout each grade at Hausner, providing
students with opportunities to learn concepts
deeply through thematic, interdisciplinary
projects. Drawing upon multiple disciplines, the
projects typically flow from a set of important
questions that require exploration and a variety
of skills. At the conclusion of each project,
students generally present their work to a public
audience giving them a chance to demonstrate
their learning (an opportunity Hausner students
enjoy in every grade).
Integrated STEM programming provides enriched and authentic experiences in science, technology, engineering, and math – as
students learn to tackle a problem, design a solution, and build a prototype.
Digital learning at Hausner incorporates various technologies, including a 1:1 iPad Program for students in grades 6-8 and
shared classroom iPads in grades K-5.
WHOLE CHILD FOCUS
Integral to Hausner’s philosophy is the school’s commitment to social and emotional learning. To ensure that every child can be
successful, faculty members routinely differentiate instruction in their classrooms. Faculty work in collaboration with a Learning
Support Team composed of three learning support specialists and a school counselor. The team works with teachers, students,
and parents to ensure the success of all within this academically
diverse student body. A Learning Center helps to bridge the
curriculum from Lower School to Middle School, assisting students in
the development of writing, organization, and study skills as well as
the capacity for self-advocacy. In Middle School, students are assigned
a faculty advisor and meet with their peers in weekly sessions
designed to develop trust, respect, tolerance, and friendships.
Opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and
demonstrate community responsibility are embedded throughout the
Hausner experience. Hausner pairs younger and older students to
work together on school projects and community service efforts
throughout the year.
SERVICE LEARNING
The desire to imbue children with a sense of community responsibility is one of Hausner’s hallmark qualities. Community Service
Days exist for all grade levels, and students participate in the mitzvot (commandments) of Bikkur Cholim (caring for the sick),
Ma’achil Re’evim (feeding the hungry), and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world). In the lower grades, students participate in varied
activities such as making blankets for sick children, preparing sack lunches for the homeless, decorating cards for the elderly, or
distributing food to the needy, so that all students are actively involved in making the world a better place. All of the activities
are done in coordination with local Jewish and non-Jewish organizations.
7
In seventh grade, students participate in Avodah
La’Olam, a signature program created at Hausner
that has received national acclaim. During this yearlong program, students begin to take a leadership
role and demonstrate initiative around community
responsibility, while also developing the important
skills of introspection, research, public speaking,
and persuasion. Through a guided process,
seventh-graders discover the values that are
important to them and choose a nonprofit
organization that reflects those values. After
conducting research on the organization, students
formally present the merits of their chosen
nonprofit to their classmates, with the goal of
persuading others to also find their organization to
be worthy of a donation.
Like any philanthropic grant-making board would do, the students then work together as a board of directors to make
allocations from the Avodah La’Olam Philanthropy Fund. This fund is created by pooling a portion of the students’ B’nai Mitzvah
gifts and by conducting other fundraising activities throughout the year. The project culminates in a community-wide
Celebration of Tzedakah in which the students share their experiences and present funds to their chosen organizations. Since the
program began, more than $500,000 has been donated to a broad range of worthy local, national, Israeli, and other international
organizations.
AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
The After-School Enrichment program offers students an extensive variety of on-campus
activities. The program runs on a trimester schedule, with each session featuring classes in
academics, fine arts, language, music, performing arts, technology, robotics, and sports.
Classes meet once or twice per week.
Before- and after-school care is also available to meet the needs of working parents.
Hausner offers interscholastic sports through the Small School Intermediate League,
competing against local private and public schools. Students in grades 5-8 compete in
team and individual sports, including coed flag football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, cross
country, tennis, bowling, swimming, golf, and street hockey.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES AWAITING THE NEXT HEAD OF SCHOOL
As Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School marks its 25th anniversary this year, there is much to celebrate. Hausner students love their
school, and members of the school community are passionate about Hausner’s mission. Under the leadership of Head of School
Julie Smith, Hausner has made impressive strides in facilities expansion, fundraising, and educational programming.
The next leader of Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School will join a dynamic and engaged community eager to embark on the next
stage of the school’s development. Key priorities for the next Head of School include:
•
Enhancing the excellence of the educational program.
•
Improving enrollment and student retention.
•
Retaining and recruiting world-class faculty.
•
Strengthening communication both internally and to the broader community.
•
Increasing affordability while maintaining financial stability.
Among the specific opportunities and challenges awaiting Hausner’s next leader are the following:
ENROLLMENT
In 2013-2014, Hausner’s enrollment peaked at 405. Over the past couple of years, enrollment has declined, with 381 students
enrolled at the beginning of this year. The school’s leadership cites a number of factors that might be contributing to the decline,
including increasing concerns about affordability, a highly competitive educational marketplace, a lack of visibility in the
community, and growing pains related to curriculum changes.
Given that Hausner is located in Palo Alto, which has one of the largest concentrations of Jewish families in the Bay Area and the
fastest Jewish population growth in the Bay Area, there is an untapped market of potential families who could join the Hausner
community. With a new Center for Arts & Athletics and the educational opportunities that lie ahead, the next Head of School will
have the opportunity to strengthen Hausner’s brand and build awareness of Hausner in the robust and thriving Jewish
community.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the center of innovation, technology, and excellence, and home to a highly educated
population, Hausner is challenged to innovate and advance its educational program in order to maintain a strong academic
reputation and compete with other schools in the area.
The next Head of School will be able to build on the solid foundation of the existing curricula and take it to the next level.
Opportunities exist for the new leader to articulate an educational philosophy, successfully guide the implementation of ProjectBased Learning and STEM initiatives, and ensure that the quality of the Jewish studies and Hebrew programs continues to grow.
To reach academic excellence, Hausner needs to attract and retain world-class educators. The next Head of School has the
opportunity to share a compelling vision and educational philosophy for the school and develop a collaborative and attractive
work environment that cultivates a professional learning community and encourages ongoing professional development.
AFFORDABILITY
Financially stable and well managed, Hausner closely monitors its operational expenses. Affordability for the school’s current and
prospective families is an ongoing concern, with financial aid now accounting for approximately 13 percent of the operating
budget. The school has been blessed with a supportive and generous community, as evidenced by the success of the L’Dor
VaDor Campaign, which has raised more than $13.4 million toward its $14.4 million goal.
9
In addition to enrollment growth, continued fundraising will be an important priority for the next Head of School. With the major
building project and associated capital campaign nearly completed, the school will turn its attention to increasing the
endowment and implementing a major gifts program. Finding ways to cultivate new donors and appropriately recognize major
supporters will be important challenges. With the school’s oldest graduates now reaching their late twenties, concentrated
efforts to reconnect with alumni and strengthen their connections to Hausner have already begun.
Ultimately, successful fundraising will be critical in helping make Hausner affordable for current and prospective families, while
maintaining the financial stability of the school.
COMMUNICATIONS
With so many exciting initiatives under way simultaneously, a top
priority for Hausner’s community is strengthening communications,
both within the school walls and beyond. Effective communication
is a key component in sustaining the school community and its
relationship with the broader community that surrounds it.
Enhanced
communication
and
collaboration
between
administration and staff, as well as targeted and thoughtful
communication between administration and parents, is needed at
Hausner. The next Head of School will have the opportunity to
develop best practices around communication and change
management, recognizing that clear, transparent, and timely
communication will be essential to engage Hausner’s different
constituent groups.
In addition, the next Head of School will have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with the strong Silicon Valley network
of Jewish organizations to increase Hausner’s visibility within the broader community.
ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNANCE
The administrative structure of Hausner remains a work in progress. Eight years ago, in an effort to reinforce the coherence of
the K-8 program, the school moved to a K-8 Academic Principal and a school-wide Principal for Jewish Studies and Hebrew.
While there are clear benefits to this structure, there is also concern that the identity of the Middle School program might need
more attention, particularly given the competitive independent and public school marketplace at that level. In addition, the
current structure creates some confusion for faculty and parents in terms of responsibility and accountability of the various
administrators.
Although the search has begun for the next leader of Jewish studies/Hebrew, conversations about how that position should be
structured are still in progress. It is anticipated that the next Head of School will have the opportunity to collaborate on this vital
appointment.
Hausner’s Board of Directors has played an integral role in most of the major accomplishments of recent years, and its
professionally diverse members will be an invaluable resource as engaged and supportive partners for the next Head of School.
Hausner’s next Head of School will inherit a wonderful institution with a remarkable quarter-century of accomplishment and
significant potential still to be developed. This is an exceptional career opportunity for a visionary, innovative, and inspiring
educational leader with a deep understanding of Jewish life who has exceptional communication skills and is energized by the
challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
