Yavneh Day School (Cincinnati, Ohio)

Yavneh Day School located in Cincinnati, Ohio is an independent private K-6 Jewish day school that caters to all Jewish denominations and to affiliated as well as unaffiliated Jewish families. The school was founded in 1952 at a time when Jewish Americans had started to become more receptive to full-time Jewish schooling for their children.

The school is subdivided into a Preschool, Lower School, and Middle School. It emphasizes both Jewish studies and general secular studies. It was announced in January 2008, that the school would be changing its name in the future in honor of Dr. S. Sunner Rockwern who donated four million dollars to its endowment. The school is still officially Yavneh Day School and doing business as Rockwern Academy.
