HHA Grade 9 Program
At the heart of our school is a commitment to academic excellence and to developing grounded, confident, and informed young Jews who are prepared to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
"Judaism models resilience and has guided our people through every era, equipping us to succeed in a complex, shifting world."
Our aim is to raise children who can face life with strength and clarity. With a network of academic, educational, and entrepreneurial leaders from our local community and beyond, we enable your child to grow, thrive, and realize their full potential.
We provide your children with access to the best teachers, resources, and growth experiences
To empower them to become informed, proud, and articulate Jews who understand their faith, values, history, and enduring connection to the land of Israel.
To integrate academic rigor with future ready skills, providing cutting edge STEM opportunities while strengthening critical thinking and writing proficiency.
To challenge them with real-world skills through our cornerstone IMPACT initiative—one full day each week devoted to hands-on service, creative problem-solving, and mentorship.
To provide a strong foundation in Judaic studies that prepares students not only for life, but also to thrive in Yeshivot of their choice, should they choose that path.
Guiding every aspect of our program and shaping an environment where students grow in faith, identity, proficiency, and real-world capability
Hope and resilience have defined the Jewish people for millennia.
This strength comes from our belief in Netzach Yisrael, our trust in G-d, and our conviction in the eternal nature of the Jewish people. Bitachon gives our children a deep sense of worth, confidence, and purpose—keeping them grounded during challenging times and filling them with optimism and hope.
Judaism is our strength, not our weakness.
Our goal is to empower students to become informed, proud, and articulate Jews who understand their history and values. Rooted in the ideals of "Hadar"—dignity, moral leadership, and ethical clarity—students learn to articulate their beliefs with confidence, grounded in Jewish wisdom.
Building future innovators that will shape the world rather than be shaped by it.
As AI reshapes the world, we teach our students to question and discern, grounding them in strong analytical thinking and clear expression. They will engage in cutting-edge STEM experiences while remaining comfortable with "pen and paper," understanding that future innovation is built on foundational skills.
It's time to build tomorrow's leaders today.
Our innovative IMPACT program equips students with real-world skills. Through hands-on service, mentorship, and creative problem solving, students learn to identify real needs, design thoughtful solutions, and collaborate effectively—transforming learning into action and nurturing empathy, resilience, and responsibility.
One full day each week is devoted to IMPACT, a cornerstone programme that cultivates leadership, initiative, and meaningful engagement with the world around them.
Our curriculum integrates academic rigour with Jewish values to develop thoughtful, capable, and grounded young Jews
Building strong writers, clear thinkers, and confident communicators through literature, media literacy, and advocacy.
From algebra to geometry to financial literacy—discovering the beauty and logic of mathematical thinking.
Science comes alive through experiments, inquiry, and access to university labs and scientific mentors.
Exploring landscapes, resources, and systems through hands-on mapping, simulations, and inquiry projects.
Essential tools for success—organization, time management, research skills, and self-advocacy.
Building foundational skills in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding modern Hebrew.
Students develop physical fitness, teamwork, and lifelong healthy living habits through a range of athletic activities and wellness education.
Our Judaic Studies program shapes thoughtful, grounded, and spiritually confident young Jews who approach life with purpose and depth.
Students develop skills in reading and analyzing sugyot, building clear reasoning, independent learning habits, and practical halachic understanding.
Students strengthen textual skills and explore timeless Torah ideas that shape identity, purpose, and moral clarity.
Our goal is to cultivate knowledge, faith, and character, shaping young Jews who think deeply, speak confidently, and live with purpose. Through the study of foundational works such as Shaar HaBitachon, Mesilat Yesharim, Kuzari, and Tanya, students refine character, deepen core beliefs about the Jewish soul, and strengthen their understanding of the covenantal mission of the Jewish people and the centrality of Israel to Jewish identity.
Students gain a clear understanding of Israel, its central place in Jewish thought and history, and contemporary antisemitism through history and media analysis. Through discussion and role-playing, they learn to articulate Jewish perspectives with confidence and dignity, grounded in Jewish values.
Through partnerships with local music and arts schools, students gain access to high-quality instruction, performance opportunities, and meaningful avenues for creative expression.
