Jewish Leadership Academy

The Jewish Leadership Academy is a new, Modern Orthodox middle and upper school in Miami designed from the ground up by Gensler. The school’s curriculum combines academic rigor and Judaic studies with an emphasis on developing future leaders and giving back to the community. The campus is a dynamic and purpose-driven space spanning 101,000 square feet across five buildings, unified by a central courtyard. The campus includes all the traditional features of a school, as well as a music/recording studio, fabrication lab, innovation lab, multiple science labs, two full indoor basketball courts, an outdoor practice soccer field, an outdoor basketball court, a track, two tennis courts, and so much more for students to explore. Beyond architecture and interiors, Gensler also developed a visual identity and website that reflect the school’s mission and values, infused with a spirit of fun and exploration appropriate for secondary education.
