Milken Community Schools, colloquially Milken, is a private Jewish high school and middle school. It is located on Mulholland Drive in the Bel-Air area of Los Angeles, California. It is one of the largest Jewish day schools in the United States.〔Julie G Fax, ("L.A.‘s Jewish high schools are all over the map" ), ''The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'', February 28, 2008.〕〔 Long affiliated with Stephen S. Wise Temple, a Reform congregation, the school is officially non-denominational, and became independent from the temple in July 2012. ==History== The school began in Van Nuys in 1984 as the Golda Meir School, and was later renamed the Einstein Academy.〔Melissa Schmitt, ("The $32 Million School; Milken Foundation Aids Jewish Campus" ), ''Los Angeles Daily News'', May 9, 1998.〕 When the school became affiliated with Stephen S. Wise Temple, it was renamed Stephen S. Wise High School. After a large donation from Lowell and Michael Milken's Milken Family Foundation the school, then reported to be the "largest non-Orthodox Jewish high school in the country", was named Milken Community High School.〔John Dart, ("Jewish School Renamed for Milkens" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', September 9, 1995.〕 At the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, the school was renamed to Milken Community Schools, with the intention of creating a name that encompassed both the middle school and the high school. The Upper School was held in temporary trailers, on the lot where the new Middle School now stands, from 1994 to 1998 until the current Upper School campus was opened in 1998.〔Duke Helfand, ("Milken High Is Dedicated by Founders: The $30-million campus is largest non-Orthodox Jewish high school in U.S." ), ''Los Angeles Times'', September 14, 1998.〕 Until the Middle School campus was completed in 2009, the Middle School occupied temporary trailers on the parking lot of the Bel Air Presbyterian Church from 1981 to 2008. The Middle School and Upper School have historically had the same name, yet after the completion of the new Middle School campus in 2009, the Middle School was officially renamed the David and Hillevi Saperstein Middle School of Milken Community High School after a subsequent donation from David and Hillevi Saperstein, while the Upper School remained the Milken Community High School. On March 25, 2011, Milken Community High School and Stephen S. Wise Temple announced that the school would become independent from the temple, effective July 1, 2012.〔Jonah Lowenfeld, ("Milken school, Stephen S. Wise Temple severing ties" ), ''The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'', March 25, 2011.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milken Community Schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
