We are thrilled to announce that Meyer Preparatory School is expanding! Beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, Meyer Prep is pleased to launch a Junior Kindergarten program.
Students who are developmentally ready for a more advanced learning environment, and are younger than traditional kindergarten age, will now have the opportunity to be part of our outstanding JK - 8 Jewish day school. The focus of our Junior Kindergarten is to cultivate socio-emotional and academic growth through discovery and wonderment, while remaining anchored in Jewish values and tradition.
Meyer Prep’s Junior Kindergarten program will feature foundations for the emergent reader, age-appropriate techniques to build number sense and mathematical thinking, and hands-on innovation and STEAM activities. Meyer Prep’s teaching principles of inquiry-based learning through creativity and discovery will permeate all aspects of learning. Play is an essential part of a Meyer Prep Junior Kindergartener’s experience. Students will experiment, create, negotiate, develop friendships and collaborate throughout the school day while learning in an all-new ergonomically designed classroom environment. Meyer Prep’s Jr. K program will be taught by teachers with advanced college degrees who are certified in elementary education.
This is a major step forward for our school whose benefits will resonate out into the greater Palm Beach Jewish community. Meyer Prep extends gratitude to our School Board, professional leadership, and community partners for their efforts to bring the new Junior Kindergarten to fruition.
For more information about this new exciting program at Meyer Prep, please contact Natalie Barak at 561-238-9008.

Our entire Meyer Prep family is beaming with pride at this astounding accomplishment. Kol ha-kavod!
Eagles girls' soccer team had an incredible opening game. Players have been practicing for two weeks and it showed yesterday on the field. The team did a great job passing the ball and defense was solid at keeping Trinity from gaining possession. The Eagles showed equal excellence with steals, taking possession from their opponents throughout the match. Daphne R. scored once and newcomer, Kaia P., scored twice. Ava S. and Chloe M. supported the 6-1 win with several assists. Special congratulations to Tova K. who got our first hat trick of the season scoring three goals. Goalie Shani B.'s quick reflexes and keen eyesight kept Trinity to a single goal. Julie C., Amelia S., and Chloe S. played exceptionally strong defense. Great job to all the girls for working hard. Their positive encouragement and good sportsmanship stood out in this win. Click here to see photos from our season.
Sixth Grade students who chose visual arts as their IB Arts concentration are currently beginning a unit relating to the environment and how art can contribute to the natural world. These wonderful artists are in the process of researching and discussing the environmental artist, Andy Goldsworthy, and his unique approach to art within the environment, and are creating their own site-specific sculptures based on his evocative works.
