It is an environment premised on the notion of commitments rather than commandments. Meaning, it is a place where all constituent members—students, teachers, and parents—are held accountable to standards not merely mandated from an external source. It is a place of joint ownership where students play an unusually active role in shaping their environment in order to help foster investment and responsibility. It is a place of immense trust and intense connectedness.
The spiritual ethos of Emery/Weiner can be summed up in two words—vigorously pluralistic. Its approach to religious instruction eschews indoctrination or coercion not merely on account of strategy, but based on principle. Classroom discussions are just that—a safe space for the free exchange of ideas. Emery/Weiner wants students to explore the broad spectrum of normative Jewish identity without reference to what is “right,” so that instead they discover for themselves what they respond to intellectually and emotionally. This approach helps make an ancient tradition relevant and engaging to the modern lives of twenty-first century young people. As a private, college-preparatory school in Houston, Texas that currently enrolls more than 460 students, The Emery/Weiner School is proud to provide its students a seamless education for grades six through twelve.
