The Jewish Educational Center is a fifteen-year yeshiva school located in Elizabeth, in Union County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grades. Throughout the day the student curriculum consists of Judaic and secular studies. JEC, as it is commonly known, is run by its dean, Rabbi Elazar Mayer Teitz. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 2008.[1] The Jewish Educational Center also includes the Jewish communities of Elizabeth, Springfield, and Hillside, NJ, including five synagogues, a mikveh, cemetery, and more.

The school includes three divisions:[2]

  • JEC Lower School: Pre-Kindergarten to 5th grade for boys, Pre-Kindergarten to 6th grade for girls, founded in 1939.
  • Rav Teitz Mesivta Academy (RTMA) : 6th to 12th grade for boys, founded in 1955.
  • Bruriah High School for Girls: 7th to 12th grade for girls, founded in 1963.

As of the 2013-14 school year, the Yeshiva of Elizabeth (now JEC Lower School) had an enrollment of 205 students (plus 74 in pre-K) and 31.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 6.4:1.[3] The Rav Teitz Mesivta Academy had an enrollment of 201 students and 26.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a ratio of 7.6:1.[4] The Bruriah High School for Girls had an enrollment of 352 students and 31.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a ratio of 11.2:1.[5]

Advanced Placement (AP) courses offered are: AP Chemistry, AP Physics B, AP Physics C, AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Computers A and AB, AP United States History, AP English Literature and Composition, AP Russian, AP Psychology, AP Biology, and AP Statistics. Most of these are only primarily offered to juniors and seniors.

Each year over 90% of the Senior class studies for a year or two in yeshivas in Israel before beginning college.

The Jewish Educational Center uses the Arrowsmith Program.[6]
