“It is part of our Jewish values to help educate our youth who are tomorrow’s leaders. I believe there is no better investment in this mission than Hebrew Academy.”

“The School not only preaches kindness but practices it, and encourages its students to practice it as well, through various chesed projects throughout the year.”

HEBREW ACADEMY GRANDPARENT

FATHER OF HEBREW ACADEMY

“The Hebrew Academy provides my three children with a rigorous learning experience enveloped in a caring and nurturing environment. The emphasis on midot tovot and respect for one’s teachers, friends, and oneself, are fully integrated into their everyday experiences at school.

I could not be more appreciative of this strong combination of Jewish values and excellent academics that HA provides to my children.”

MOTHER OF THREE HEBREW ACADEMY STUDENTS

STUDENTS

“The teachers at the school are very special.

They see beyond the grades and the classroom, and into the individual learner, identifying their strengths and giving each child an opportunity to shine. My son found a passion for creative writing, and his teacher encouraged him to develop, display, and shine in his talent.”

Hebrew Academy students enjoy the perfect balance between Judaic and General Studies. Through Ivrit and Limudei Kodesh, as well as College Preparatory education, students are inspired to reach their full potential. Instilling a love for Israel, Judaism, and the Jewish People is part of our fabric. We take great pride in meeting the holistic needs of our children, which is why we include music, drama, visual arts, athletics, and technology in our curriculum in an effort to spark and nurture student interests.

HEBREW ACADEMY is a PIONEER SCHOOL In 1947, Rabbi Alexander S. Gross z”l dedicated his life to creating the first Modern Orthodox Jewish Day School south of Baltimore. His drive towards excellence in both secular and Judaic education began with two classrooms and quickly became the premier learning institution in Miami Beach that is now the Hebrew Academy of Greater Miami (RASG). Imagine the extraordinary academic success our students will continue to achieve in their new, thoughtfully designed spaces.
