Schechter Day School Network
The first Conservative day school, Beth El Day School in Rockaway Park, Queens, opened in 1951. During the 1950s and 1960s, additional schools opened throughout the country as parents began to seek schools that combined high general academic standards, authentic Jewish study and life, and open intellectual inquiry in all areas of study.
The first school to adopt the name of Rabbi Solomon Schechter, the founder of Conservative Judaism in its 20th century form, was the Solomon Schechter School of Queens, New York City, which opened in 1956. In 1966, Solomon Schechter School of Westchester opened in White Plains, New York. The Hillel Day School in Farmington Hills, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007.
