About
Emet Classical Academy is a private K-12 Jewish classical day school located in Seminole, Florida, co-founded by Eric Cohen. It launched its inaugural school year in fall 2024 and operates from facilities in Pinellas County, designed to grow from early grades toward a full K-12 program. The curriculum combines rigorous classical liberal arts education—featuring great books, Socratic discussions, phonics, math mastery, and fine arts—with deep engagement in Jewish texts, traditions, Hebrew language, Tanakh study, and Jewish philosophy. Grounded in both Jewish particularism and universal Western heritage, it emphasizes traditional liberal arts, small class sizes, teacher mentorship, and a paideia model inspired by classical academies to cultivate intellectual rigor, moral character, and civic virtue. It serves as an educational option for families seeking an alternative to conventional schooling and has garnered attention within Jewish educational circles for bridging Orthodox values with classical revivalism. No major controversies, legal issues, or financial disclosures are publicly documented at this early stage.
