I would like to take this opportunity to bring you up-to-date on the wonderful things that are going on here at the Hebrew Academy.

The HAMC has just received the highest honor of the U.S. Department of Education, “Blue Ribbon for Academic Excellence.” In our 39^th year of existence we are getting the acknowledgment we deserve for something we have been doing for a long time. Generations of students have passed through the doors of the HAMC, and now we have validation for what we already knew — that they received the best education possible.

Our 8^th graders, on the whole, enter high school, well-prepared and, in many cases, having already covered the required readings and topics while here at the Academy. 

The heart and soul of our Judaic studies curriculum is the teaching of Derech Eretz, meaning, in its broadest sense, acting with consideration and kindness to one’s fellow human beings. I often hear from many former families that the values their children learned while at the Hebrew Academy had a major impact on their families’ lives. Our mitzvah projects, Jewish values classes, and community service activities have earned us a reputation as a loving, giving, and nurturing school.

Please feel free to call me at any time if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you and showing you around our school.
