Rabbi Sheya Hecht, Headmaster

Welcome!

As you begin the virtual tour of Southern Connecticut Hebrew Academy, I take this opportunity to thank you for visiting one of the foremost academies of Jewish learning in New England.

Founded in 1944, in the basement of a local synagogue, our school can boast over 3500 alumni, many of whom are leaders in their respective fields and communities.   As attorneys, physicians, Rabbis, social workers and self-employed business owners, our graduates all share the common thread of having had a unique educational experience in their formative years.   The values which our students learned, the teachings which they gleaned, and the life lessons which they experienced, enable them to face life's challenges with confidence and accomplish their goals.

We are fortunate to have a dedicated faculty who feel the awesome responsibility of maximizing the potential of every student and instill a life-long love and passion for learning.  It's not just about grades; but rather about developing minds and habits of learning that ignite intellectual curiosity for years to come.

I look forward to meeting you and your children.
