Core offering

Associated Hebrew Schools (AHS) operates a non-profit Jewish day school across two Toronto campuses, providing co-educational Nursery-through-Grade 8 instruction that integrates Ontario Ministry-aligned General Studies with Judaic Studies. The school delivers a half-day Hebrew immersion curriculum (Ivrit B'Ivrit), STREAM learning, special education support, student transportation, and community programs funded primarily through tuition fees and donations.

Product overview

Associated Hebrew Schools is a unified Jewish day school offering a comprehensive educational program from Nursery through Grade 8 across three branches. The school provides a dual-curriculum combining General Studies and Judaic Studies, with Hebrew language immersion (Ivrit B'Ivrit) as a core component. The three branches include Bet Hayeled (Nursery-SK), Elementary (Grades 1-5) at both Kamin and Posluns campuses, and Danilack Middle School (Grades 6-8). The school operates the Centre for Diverse Learning for special education support, and offers technology programs including 1:1 Chromebook deployment and Veracross parent portal access.
