Cheder Lubavitch Hebrew Day School vs. Hillel Torah North Suburban Day School

Cheder Lubavitch holds that in the innocence and sincerity of children there is the immeasurable potential for goodness, for leadership, and for appreciation of the sanctity of life.

To guide each child with clear moral direction is every teacher's focus, stressing the values that suffuse all that is cherished in our tradition.

Students are shown that secular and religious education can be compatible and learn that a Jew may lead a traditional Jewish life without compromise, even in a secular environment.

Seymour J. Abrams Cheder Lubavitch Hebrew Day School seeks to offer its students the warmth and love of the traditional Yiddishe cheder, while utilizing modern technology and teaching techniques.

Since its founding with five students in 1979, the school's separate programs for boys and girls have provided an integrated religious and secular education under the guidance of highly qualified teachers in both arenas.

We believe each child is born with a unique set of gifts and talents, which, if properly nourished, will lead to a deeply rewarding, productive life.

With this in mind, the Cheder will create a nurturing, child-centered, value-oriented environ-ment dedicated to academic excellence.

Hillel Torah North Suburban school strives to develop responsible, self-reliant, Torah observant children whose identity is shaped by Orthodox Jewish values and culture.

Respect for the unique qualities of each individual is encouraged in a creative co-educational setting where students develop self-esteem and the desire for continued personal growth through quality Jewish and general education programs.

Our Torah observant environment fosters a love for Israel and the Hebrew language, as well as a strong commitment to community involvement school students are encouraged to become independent learners, learn to accept personal responsibility, and develop interpersonal skills.

They continue to develop a positive self-image, and are given opportunities to pursue new interests and discover new talents both individually as well as in cooperative settings and teams.
