The only Jewish school in the Southeast to receive education’s highest honor as a 2020 Blue Ribbon School from the U.S. Department of Education, Scheck Hillel offers a personalized college preparatory experience within the framework of a General and Judaic Studies- Hebrew Language dual curriculum enriched with opportunities for students to develop talents and pursue interests through personal initiative. The school focuses on the whole child to nurture the natural curiosity children bring to learning.

Scheck Hillel students are inquisitive and motivated, and are taught to embrace a growth mindset where mistakes are opportunities to learn. They develop skills to become active participants who contribute to society while exploring who they want to become as individuals. Diverse faculty are partners in discovery, serving as expert guides in the educational process. This extends from the classroom to the school’s personalized college counseling program, which begins in Grade 8. Top students score in the 99th percentile of the SAT, nationally, and graduates enroll in top colleges and universities, with every graduating class earning millions of dollars in merit scholarships. Family learning, social-emotional and character education programs deepen the journey with meaning and connection to enhance the overall student experience. Scheck Hillel is more than a student’s school; it’s a family’s community.
