What Abraham Joshua Heschel School does
Mission
The Abraham Joshua Heschel School is an independent jewish day school which includes students from a wide range of jewish backgrounds, practices and beliefs. (see schedule o for continuation)
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Abraham Joshua Heschel School is committed to identifying, teaching, and applying a full range of standards that have found expression in jewish tradition and which promote the development of our students into civically responsible and spiritually sensitive human beings. The educational philosophy of the Abraham Joshua Heschel School is grounded in a strong curriculum which requires each student to seek personal meaning in that curriculum. Our concern for the whole child is reflected in attention to and the balance between intellectual and emotional growth. We emphasize values and moral education. We view concern for the child's emotional development, the quality of relationships among students and staff, and reaching out to others as critical components of such an education. See schedule o.our educational program is designed to develop skills of inquiry and expression, and to foster understanding of the self and others. We provide models of excellence in our staff and program and emphasize the importance of hard work in the pursuit of achievement. Goals for each school year are viewed in the context of our longer range vision of education as a developmental process.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $186M to $171M (−8%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 1% · 2018 5% · 2019 2% · 2020 2% · 2021 2% · 2022 13% · 2023 5% · 2024 3% · 2025 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
11% of ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL SCHOOL’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 17 funders to 29 funders, grant income rose $1.6M → $1.7M.

Left out of every figure on this page: $9.5M from 7 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Jewish Communal Fund). These are real filings, and they are not money ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL SCHOOL raised.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
