Who We Are
Kavod is a community of educators, explorers and families dedicated to growing the next generation of bilingual, globally aware leaders who will make the world a more respectful place. We embrace the value of biliteracy, enriching the students, who we refer to as explorers, with both modern Hebrew and Spanish. Our high-quality rigorous curriculum and International Baccalaureate program develop compassionate global citizens. Kavod means “Respect” in Hebrew- and our vision is for every explorer to respect themselves, each other, their community, and other cultures. Kavod is a non-religious dual-language public elementary and middle school that offers a comprehensive program within a small caring community.
