Golda Och Academy

It primarily serves families from Essex and Union counties, while also drawing students from other parts of North and Central Jersey, along with New York.

In September 1991, the Upper School moved to a newly constructed building on Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange, later named the Eric F. Ross Campus in 1995.

Additions included new science and technology labs, an outdoor classroom and garden, a synagogue, a playground, a library, and a cafeteria.

The project also created dedicated art and music spaces, modernized classrooms with updated wiring, and improved accessibility.

Golda Och Academy is a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest New Jersey and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.

Pyonin has trained more than 30 professional basketball players and coached three teams to National Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) championships.
