Message from Director of Education

Dr. Mark SmileyWelcome to the website of Associated Hebrew Schools. While we stand on the foundation of over 100 years of educating the children of our community, our focus is very much on today’s students.

 Associated maintains an uncompromising commitment to excellence. Our success is founded on the strength of a team of educational leaders whose skill, experience and vision are amongst the best in the Jewish day school movement. At each of our branches, an innovative spirit is bringing the best educational thought and practice to Associated. This investment in academic excellence is reaping dividends throughout the school. Children are learning the theory of light refraction while studying the book of Genesis. Our young graduates of preschool Hebrew immersion programs have acquired advanced second language skills. We are effectively integrating technology into our Judaic and General Studies programs with breathtaking results. Students are familiarizing themselves with current events here and in Israel and then using the Internet to broadcast the news to young people around the world. . Our Centre for Diverse Learning is helping to shape an individualized approach to students’ needs. Jewish life at each of our campuses is rich with inspiring and foundational experiences. Our campuses and their communities have become certified models of environmental responsibility.

The results of our 100-year educational mission are nothing less than spectacular. The graduates of Associated are a veritable “who’s who” of leaders in every field - from pioneers in medicine to noted authors and historians; from Jewish educators to media and entertainment personalities; from those accomplished in business to those who are changing the world through innovation.

I invite you to explore our website and discover more about Associated. I am confident that you will see that we are truly a great school.
