Our Mission & Philosophy

"A place of joy” is a phrase we often hear used to describe HBHA – from students, parents, and teachers – and we would like to share that experience with you. We are a diverse community, united through our shared tradition, culture, and the values of the Torah. 

Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy is a K-12 independent community Jewish day school in the heart of the Midwest. Serving the Greater Kansas City Jewish community for more than 50 years, HBHA is committed to working in partnership with our parents and students to support the emotional, spiritual, academic, and physical growth of our students. As a school, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing, collaborative, and – most important – joy-filled Jewish environment where students can grow into their best selves.

We live by our core values to provide the best for our students, including a strong academic foundation with individualized attention, all emanating from Jewish values.

Our Mission: 

 

We are a diverse community, united through our shared traditions, culture, and the values of the Torah. 

 

We strive to cultivate a generation of Jewish independent and ethical thinkers, determined to reach their greatest potential and have a positive impact on our people and the world.
