History

Donna Klein Jewish Academy was founded by a group of local parents in 1979, as South County Jewish Community Day School, a satellite campus of the Jewish Community Day School of Palm Beach, in a temporary location at Temple Beth El. It opened with 50 students, ranged across grades 1-6.
Shirley Enselberg led the parent group and became the first president of the school. Through community fundraising, they were able to move to a permanent location the following year, and add a middle school in 1983.
Throughout the years, DKJA has received a number of awards, including being named the Number 1 Jewish High School in Florida by Niche.com in 2023-24 and Number 2 in the United States in 2024-25.
