Jewish tradition teaches us l’dor v’dor — from generation to generation. Grandparents play an important role in carrying that tradition forward.
Whether you live around the corner or across the country, the love, wisdom, stories and traditions you share help your grandchildren understand where they come from and shape who they will become.
At the Calgary Jewish Academy, we value the important role grandparents play in our students’ lives and welcome you as part of our school community.
A Celebration of L’dor V’dor
More than a century ago, Calgary’s Jewish community came together to establish a Jewish school for future generations. That commitment continues today through the Calgary Jewish Academy.
Our school’s history reflects generations of families, educators and community members who believed in the importance of Jewish education and worked to ensure its future.
As CJA approaches its 40th anniversary in 2027, we celebrate that legacy and look ahead to what the next generation will need.
There are many ways to be part of CJA’s future — from attending school celebrations and sharing family stories to supporting the educational resources and experiences that help our students learn, grow and strengthen their Jewish identity.
Every generation has a role in carrying this legacy forward.
