At the Southern Connecticut Hebrew Academy, talented students and teachers from diverse backgrounds learn together-- imaginatively. Teaching at a private school is demanding, but for those who are committed to the profession of teaching and to shaping the whole child, few experiences are more fulfilling. The Southern CT Hebrew Academy continuously seeks to employ and retain a talented, dedicated, and diverse faculty--women and men who bring to their work a contagious enthusiasm.

Teaching at a private school is a lifestyle decision. The “life” extends from the classroom to the playing fields, to the stage, to the dining hall, and it exists in all the varied ways, both formal and informal, in which adults and adolescents interact. When one considers a teaching career at the Southern CT Hebrew Academy, one is committing to the fulfilling experience of being in a private school community.

We are known for our demanding academic program, including a variety of elective courses. We are proud of the quality of our high school matriculations, and our healthy body/healthy mind ethos. The Southern CT Hebrew Academy creates new experiences for students through integrated and interdisciplinary learning in all areas of the school, incorporated leadership education, and the promise brought by citizenship in a community of learners.

Faculty and Curriculum

We have 4 educational departments:

     Pre-School – 18 months through  pre-school
     Day School – kindergarten  through 6th

In addition to the basic secular and Judaic curriculum, we offer art, physical education, library, and electives.

Professional Development
Each academic year begins with a new faculty orientation program, followed by regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year. At the Southern CT Hebrew Academy we try to provide support that will help our faculty be more effective professionals, mentors and role models.

The Southern CT Hebrew Academy prohibits in all its programs discrimination against any member or group on the basis of religion, ethnic origin, race, sex, age, handicap, or any other consideration unrelated to education.
