Mission Statement

Cohen Hillel Academy is a K-8 independent day school that creates critical thinkers through an academically challenging program grounded in Judaism.

CHA offers a unique, engaging educational experience that provides students with a lifelong foundation for learning, leadership, responsibility and respect for self and others.

We accomplish this by:

• Offering a strong general studies curriculum within an academically differentiated learning environment;
• Following an integrated dual-language Jewish studies program that emphasizes values and ethics, and celebrates Jewish learning and living;
• Emphasizing community and global responsibility and integrating it into an overall learning experience;
• Teaching skills that carry our students successfully through high school, college and beyond; and
• Facilitating thought-provoking conversation and respectful dialogue in the classroom that ignites the spark of learning.
