Programs: The jewish community day school network ("ravsak") opens a program - head of school professional excellence project ("hos pep"). This program is to strengthen new day school directors while preserving valuable knowledge and experience from recognized leaders in the field. This program's goals are to help the head of school master the culture and behaviors of excellent leadership specific to a jewish day school setting; to improve the lay leader/professional leader divide that troubles many schools by creating a spirit of collaboration and common goals; to help the head of school lead in a jewish way by assisting him/her to craft a model of jewish leadership most germane to the school community; and to diminish the sense of isolation that can be part of the head of school experience.

the jewish community day school network ("ravsak") hosts annual conference for uncommon connections that are nearly invisible. This program is to bring various people together. There are great possibilities to present themselves; problems are resolved faster; new opportunities appear. The goal is to make the people, the schools, and the entire communities smarter. The people who attend the conference can be heads of school, assistant heads of school, board chairs and board members, educational division heads, admission directors, development directors, financial managers/executive directors, federation, central agency and bureau of jewish education professionals, volunteers with oversight on day school priorities and portfolios, network staff, lay leaders, jewish day school donors, and foundation staffs.

the jewish community day school network ("ravsak") creates another large program - sulam 2.0 that is an elite and intensive jewish leadership development program with an emphasis on effective approaches to jewish day school board governance, this is the only program of its kind to blend mentorship, ongoing in-person and digital learning opportunities and conference sessions and workshops to strengthen participants' knowledge of governance, increase their leadership skills and better integrate jewish values into all they do.

the jewish community day school network ("ravsak") also creates some other small programs that are related to its mission.
