I did a great deal of research when choosing a school for my son and after only 3 months, I am certain that I made the right decision! The staff at Heschel have all encouraged him and helped him to blossom.

Jewish Day School Toronto

A Jewish Education for Life

Jewish Education Toronto - The Toronto Heschel School Welcome to The Toronto Heschel School where a substantive Jewish education is more than memorizing. It's learning how to think critically and creatively ensuring that the next generation of innovative Jewish leaders engages in the world around us. Our community at The Toronto Heschel School is rooted in academic excellence, artistic expression, environmentalism, an integrated curriculum and repairing the world.

The students' experience is further enriched by the integration of arts-based learning born out of well-founded educational research that links the arts with increased cognitive capabilities. Low student-teacher ratios and talented, motivated teachers ensure high academic achievement within a positive, nurturing and joyful learning environment. Our high-level curriculum, multi-sensory approach and expansive six-acre green space that houses our organic teaching garden, infuse the learning experience with feeling and meaning.

Our students develop the skills for independent learning that are necessary in high school, university, and beyond. Heschel students are creative, inquisitive and imaginative and are inspired to think and treasure Jewish wisdom and thought. We hold Gold Certified Ontario EcoSchool status and by fostering a culture of individuality, responsibility and social integrity, Heschel inspires students to make a difference. The Toronto Heschel School: A Jewish Education for life.
