LOCATION AND FACILITIES
The Flo and Morris Mizel Jewish Community Day School, founded as Heritage Academy, is housed in the Charles Schusterman Jewish Community Center (CSJCC.org), located on the Zarrow Campus of the Jewish Federation of Tulsa (www.jewishtulsa.org).
The Jewish Federation manages the school’s facility and provides a safe and secure building, with many opportunities for the school to use the various campus facilities.

Since that time, the school has been provided the opportunity to use a number of spaces in the Schusterman Center, including the classrooms which were extended into a school wing on the south side of the building.
