Toronto’s Premier Community Jewish High School

In grade 9, students take a total of 11 subjects throughout the year: 7 in General Studies and 4 in Jewish Studies. Students are required to take English, Math, Science, French, Canadian Geography, and Physical Education. They also choose from one elective, which is discussed during the interview. The Jewish Studies subjects are Ivrit, Tanach, Rabbinics or Talmud, and Jewish History. Students have each subject three times a week.

We recognize that every child has unique social, emotional and academic needs. We are committed to creating an environment in which all our students have the opportunity to thrive. The Student Services team is coordinated by the Director of Student Services and comprises the Centre for Differentiated Learning (CDL), the Deans’ Office, and the Guidance Department. Together, they offer a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach to supporting the whole student. We see parents and guardians as active partners in this endeavour.

The CDL may provide support to students with exceptional learning and academic needs who have a current psycho-educational assessment. Through ongoing consultation with parents and students, the CDL oversees academic accommodations to help ensure that the student’s unique learning profile is addressed in all academic and extracurricular settings.

We are proud that our graduates go on to lead successful lives after high school. In a typical year, more than 85% of our graduates attend college or university in Canada, the U.S. or abroad; approximately 10% are accepted to programs in Israel; and around 4% elect to work or travel. More than 90% of our grads are accepted to their first choice of college or university and over 60% move on to graduate studies.

Yes, busing is available for an extra fee for students in Toronto and York Region. Information to sign up for busing will accompany Offers of Acceptance in February.
