Who We Are:

The Schechter School of Long Island is a co-educational, private, Jewish day school affiliated with the Conservative Movement nestled in Williston Park, NY. Our mission: SSLI educates and empowers students to be critical thinkers, ethical leaders, and globally engaged citizens, striving to achieve their full potential. 

SSLI treats every student like a work of art, fostering a learning environment where every child feels seen, heard, and understood, and where our teachers strive to get the best out of each child’s unique learning style. There is no one way to teach a child, and SSLI students thrive because our community takes the time to understand their needs and find a pathway to help them thrive.
