Our Mission
The Toronto Heschel School is a pluralistic and egalitarian Jewish day school that welcomes students from all Jewish backgrounds.
Our mission is to nurture intellectual, spiritual, and ethical growth, empowering students to strive for academic excellence and embrace Mitzvot and Gimilut Hasadim (acts of lovingkindness).
Inspired by the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, our integrated curriculum blends Judaic and General Studies, rooted in the theory of multiple intelligences and a deep commitment to environmental stewardship.
We encourage students to think critically and creatively, act compassionately, and explore the world with curiosity.
Hebrew language development is a cornerstone of our programme, fostering cultural connection, identity, and meaningful engagement with Jewish texts, traditions, and Israel — which we proudly affirm as the homeland of the Jewish people.
At The Toronto Heschel School, learning is transformative and holistic — cultivating thinkers, creators, and changemakers who honour tradition, engage proudly with Israel and the Jewish people, and shape a more just, beautiful, and unified future.
Our Vision
We envision a generation of students who find wonder in the world, connect deeply to Jewish life in all its diversity, and embody the values of curiosity, creativity, and courage.
Our students will become thoughtful, responsible, and compassionate members of the Jewish community and the wider world.
