Goals
The Hebrew Day School came into existence to fill a need, a need based on the responsibility of the Jewish community to insure its continuity.

The basis for continuity is education, an education that starts with a thorough foundation in the sciences, arts and humanities, taught concurrently with ethical and religious values.

A major goal is to educate the heart as well as the mind; to develop a strong sense of ethical values; an understanding of the history of the Jewish people; a respect for the traditions and practices of Torah learning; a competence in the Hebrew language; an awareness of the richness of the two cultures which nourish us; a desire to be participating, contributing citizens; a spiritual bonding with Israel; and a sensitivity to the brotherhood of Man.

The Process through which we achieve our goals centers on individualization, with emphasis on creativity and developing a strong sense of responsibility. The curriculum is cross-disciplined, where appropriate, integrating general and Judaic subject matter. In a creatively blended program the child gains the best of both worlds.

The Hebrew Day School's impact is not found in its academic program alone. The school aims to create an atmosphere in which the attitudes and ideals of the American Jewish heritage thrive. The commitment to ideals, social awareness, and community service must continue throughout their adult lives.

The Hebrew Day School strives to have its students become well-integrated individuals - educated American citizens as well as devoted members of their faith - proud of their dual heritage.
