About Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School

Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School is an independent community school serving students in TK–8. Our mission is to cultivate a joyful learning community that builds students’ capacity for critical thinking, creativity, and moral courage through a complementary curriculum of general and Jewish studies.

This is a hands-on role for a strong writer, creator, and communicator who takes initiative and enjoys being part of a school community. You’ll share the Hausner experience through blog stories, social media, website content, and email campaigns, working closely with the Director of Marketing to balance priorities within a part-time schedule.
