JLS' academic year generally tracks the academic calendars of the Fremont and Newark School Districts. For JLS' current academic calendar please click the link below.

During the academic year, classes are held on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Classes for high school students seeking high school language credit are held on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Class sizes vary but generally range from 5 to 12 students per class. Due to limitations in the number of classrooms and varying enrollment each year, students of different ages may be placed in the same class depending on language proficiency, although efforts are made to keep students of similar ages in the same class.

• Registration priority is given to continuing students, followed by siblings of continuing students, and then new students.

​

• Current students intending on continuing enrollment for the upcoming school year and siblings of continuing students who wish to enroll for the upcoming school year are encouraged to complete their Intent to Re-Enroll form typically sent out at the end of the current school year by the deadline indicated. Once the deadline has passed enrollment will be open to new students.

​

• New students interested in enrolling for the upcoming school year can send an inquiry by submitting their contact information, name of the student, grade of the student, and language proficiency using the form located at the bottom of the website.

• Fees will vary depending on whether there is more than one student from the same family enrolled at JLS, if the family is a temple member or has already paid SACBC affiliate membership fees through another affiliated organization of SACBC (e.g., Athletic Association (Basketball), Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Kendo or Taiko), and whether the student is seeking high school language course credit. Families should generally expect fees to be around $1,400 (or $2,400 with school language course credit) each academic school year, per student.
