Who Is Addlestone Hebrew Academy?

Since its inception in 1956, Addlestone Hebrew Academy has been known for innovative and individualized education, for our family-like warmth, and for fostering a sense of Jewish values and joy in our students. With small classes and nurturing teachers, every child is treated as the individual that they are and each is celebrated for their unique talents, abilities and intelligences. Our STEAM curriculum brings Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math to all of our classes, enabling our students to be ready for the 21st century workplace and this approach brings a sense of discovery and relevance to the learning. Our Judaic classes and programs help to guide our students in the exploration of their Judaism and helps them find meaning in their own lives. We take great pride in the fact that our alumni have attended universities such as Princeton and Yale (with even a Fulbright scholar among them), but are equally proud of our many alumni who are leaders that give back to their communities.
