MISSION STATEMENT

Our students will desire to achieve greatness and be prepared to excel in Torah and secular studies including knowledge of classic Jewish texts and fluency in Tefilah (prayer). Our students will demonstrate confidence, integrity, and ethics and be respectful of others. We will create a courteous halachic environment of tzniut (modesty). We will promote within our students:

• Ahavat yisrael – the love for all Jews and awareness of the inter-responsibility of the Jewish People
• Enthusiasm for learning for its own sake
• A love of Torah and mitzvot – the commandments by which a Torah Jew lives
• A personal relationship with Hashem
• A passion for the land and people of Israel

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

We will provide the best in Torah and secular studies. All teachers will be expert and experienced in their subject matter. Our staff will consistently exhibit love of their students, have excellent teaching skills, and will integrate students, family and community.

Our Torah teachers will be living role models of Torah values and Mitzvah observance according to the Mesorah, the Torah tradition that derives for Israel’s acceptance of the Torah from HaShem at Mt. Sinai. This will include demonstration of proper middot (personal ethical qualities), including tzniut, the framework of personal modesty in context of Torah.
