What is JEIC’s Innovators Retreat (IR)?

The Innovators Retreat (IR) is JEIC’s annual flagship event, held in a different North American city each year. This exclusive one-and-a-half-day gathering unites educators, funders, and community leaders to explore innovative, collaborative approaches to sustainable school change. IR participants connect, share ideas, and gain tools to drive meaningful impact in Jewish day schools.
