Milestones
Yavneh Day School has been selected as an Oprah Winfrey Ambassador School with the goal to empower young leaders and educators and connects young people in North America with people around the world to create lasting change by working toward United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
As a private Jewish school, tuition does not cover all expenses and fund-raising is an important activity. In 2007, the school was honored by the Jewish Funders Network (an international organization of family foundations, public philanthropies, and individual donors dedicated to advancing the quality and growth of philanthropy rooted in Jewish values) for raising significant sums. The school was similarly recognized by the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education (founded in 1997 by Michael Steinhardt and Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, is a national organization of Jewish philanthropists seeking to establish a Jewish future through strengthening the Jewish day school movement in North America) and became a "supported school" of the PEJE undertaking.
In March 2007, it was reported that "Yavneh Day School receives accreditation":
Location
Yavneh Day School is located adjacent to the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center of the Silicon Valley, on the Levy Family Campus in Los Gatos. The site is the former location of the Ralph O. Berry Elementary School, Los Gatos Union School District, from 1962 until 1980. During the interim between 1980, and its subsequent purchase by its present owner, the site was also the State Headquarters for the project to eradicate the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, a major crisis in the administration of then-Governor Jerry Brown.
