We are a diverse community, united through our shared traditions, culture, and 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.
At HBHA, students discover who they are, and they have the freedom to determine how they can have the most beneficial impact on our society, through:
Strong Academic Foundation: Daily, HBHA students engage in top-notch General and Jewish Studies classes, combined with dual-language learning, giving them an outstanding educational foundation. HBHA students learn beyond the test, developing their critical thinking skills to prepare them for a lifetime of success.
Individualized Attention: HBHA students learn in an environment in which all students are encouraged to succeed on their own terms. Low teacher-to-student ratios and an engaged Student Services department focus on each student as an individual, empowering them to achieve their greatest potential, and instilling lifelong confidence and leadership skills in the process.
Community Based on Jewish Values: Living the school year by the Jewish calendar and by Jewish values ensures students, K-12, learn the same values you teach in the home, and your family joins a warm, welcoming network of other like-minded families.
