WHO WE ARE
Associated Hebrew Schools has been a cornerstone of our community for most of the 20th century. In 1907, Toronto's first Jewish communal educational enterprise, the Simcoe Street Talmud Torah, launched an innovative education program. The fundamental principles upon which that program was founded remain the focus at Associated today - a dynamic, traditional Jewish studies curriculum, taught in Hebrew, together with an outstanding program of General Studies.
Associated Hebrew Schools is the largest Jewish day school of its kind in the world.
The same uncompromising quest for excellence which launched the Talmud Torah drives Associated's development today. The result is a universally recognized first class curriculum complemented by a commitment to providing the very best facilities and support services.
