EHA Philosophy
-
The Epstein Hebrew Academy education is holistic in nature and promotes cognitive growth, emotional and social well-being and academic excellence.
-
EHA provides individualized support so that every student shines, and develops his/her own leadership.
-
School, Student and Parent form a true collaborative partnership to ensure that each student and each family thrives throughout their years in the school.
-
EHA inspires curiosity and trains life-long learners. Our faculty model this curiosity and thirst for knowledge and growth.
-
EHA demands the highest of standards of academic excellence within both Judaic and general studies, as the pursuit of knowledge causes a deeper understanding and appreciation for all that G-d creates and provides.
-
EHA lives by our sages’ dictum: “Decency and Kindness precede Torah Study.” The faculty model Middot Tovot, positive behavioral education, and carefully craft this learning into the fiber of everything we do.
-
Our Torah demands of everyone a civic responsibility, and that we actively engage as global citizens of the world in which we live.
-
The State of Israel is central to our Jewish identity, and to our devotion to the Jewish people.
-
EHA graduates young Torah scholars with a thirst for Torah’s wisdom, granting them the skill set to unlock our sacred texts and debate our tradition’s deepest questions.
-
Judaism is a religion of all five senses. Our experiential education curriculum immerses our students in the sensory components of religious practice and in the spirit and joy of religious observance.
-
As our students explore their evolving world, their guidance and education employs the very best and current educational practices that focus on student-centered 21st century skills. Technology, collaborative game-play, creativity and every best teaching tool is used as we guide our students on their own journeys
