Gottesman RTW Academy

The Hebrew Academy offers a challenging, integrated dual curriculum in general and Judaic studies that prepares youngsters for academic success in high school and beyond, while at the same time enabling them to become knowledgeable, responsible, and committed members of the Jewish community. With an incredible 6-to-1 student to staff ratio, our experienced teachers are able to offer each youngster individualized attention in a nurturing environment. Founded in 1967, the Hebrew Academy is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The Hebrew Academy of Morris County, a Blue Ribbon School awarded by the US Department of Education, is a co-educational Jewish day school serving approximately 225 children in nursery school through grade eight. As a community day school, we serve families representing the entire spectrum of contemporary Jewish observance. Our interdisciplinary general studies curriculum consists of superior programs in language arts, math, science, social studies, physical education, health, music and art. We have a state of the art computer lab and computers in every classroom. Our middle school students are kept "up to speed" with our wireless laptop lab. Our Judaic studies curriculum offers a solid foundation in the Hebrew language, sacred text study (Torah, Prophets/Tanach), culture, history, traditions, and religious practices of the Jewish people. Our students feel a bond with Israel through our instruction on Israeli history, the celebration of Israeli holidays, and involvement in Israel community related projects, as well as weekly visits by Israeli students. These dual programs are supplemented by extra-curricular activities including after-school athletics, clubs, and community service. Extended school days (before and aftercare) are also available.
