About Us

The Board of Progressive Education (BPJE) is the umbrella organisation of all education bodies which provide Progressive Jewish education and the Progressive Jewish approach to educational issues involving Jewish History, Judaism and Israel.

BPJE aims to provide educational experiences that foster a love of Judaism and pride in being part of the Progressive and wider Jewish community.

The Board of Progressive Jewish Education recognises that for many students' participation in Hebrew and Religion Sunday Schools is the only contact with Judaism and Jewish children. We recognise that a number of families not affiliated with our congregations elect to send their children to our Hebrew and Religion Schools. We aim to foster experiences that create a sense of community. Whilst we encourage families to select a Jewish Day School education we strive to ensure that children from all educational institutions feel welcome.

While we share a common mission, vision and ethos, the programs at each Centre and for distance education will continue to be designed to respond to the needs of students.
