School Overview
Overview
The Hebrew Academy seeks to individualize instruction so that each child can move at his or her own speed.
Fundamental to this approach is respect for the individual, and trust that when the child is given the proper encouragement and appropriate learning tools, enthusiasm and self initiative and discipline will emerge naturally from within.
The preschool philosophy is based on a modified Montessori method and philosophy.
The program is experiential, "hands-on" in nature. Your child's first years can be the most joyous of his or her life.
At the Hebrew Academy, we capture this joy and encourage your children to observe the world around them.
We believe children need to explore, analyze, investigate, and manipulate.
Our holistic approach to curriculum continues through the Elementary and Middle school years encouraging each child to experience the joy of learning, allows enough time to enjoy the process, insures the development of self-esteem, and provides the experiences from which children create knowledge.
Hillel's mission is to provide a superior education that encourages a love of learning and a strong Jewish identity.
To that end, Hillel students are encouraged to attain the highest possible level of personal achievement.
We foster a respect for self, school and community, and prepare students to be active and knowledgeable members of their societies.
Our students have a strong sense of pride in their heritage and identity, cultivated by moral, cultural, and religious development.
