Welcome to The Toronto Heschel School
At The Toronto Heschel School, we offer a transformative education that welcomes families from diverse Jewish backgrounds into a community rooted in pluralism and egalitarianism.
From Preschool to Grade 8, students learn in an integrated environment where General and Judaic Studies are taught in harmony. They see how ideas connect across disciplines and how their learning relates to the world around them. Through inquiry-based, arts-enriched learning, children ask thoughtful questions, investigate big ideas, and discover meaning through exploration.
Grounded in rigorous academics and enriched by STEAM, Derekh Eretz, and environmental stewardship, we prepare students to thrive intellectually, embrace their Jewish identity, and make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world. Anchored in Heschel’s 5 Cs — Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Compassion and Community — our graduates are inspired, capable, and ready to lead.

“At Heschel, students are guided in discovering their Judaism from within. They are asked powerful questions that encourage them to think deeply and form their own perspectives, rather than being told what things ‘should’ mean. This approach allows them to truly own their Jewish identity—making it genuine, empowering, meaningful, and lasting.”
