Mission
Bais Chana Academy is a trusted Lubavitch High School for over 50 years and was the first moisad given permission by the Rebbe to use Rebbitzen Chana's name after her histalkus. Bais Chana is committed to excellence in education and the development of self-assured young women who exemplify middos tovos and strength of character. BCA instills yiras shamayim, a love of Torah and Mitzvos and a practical understanding and appreciation for what limud hachassidus and darcei hachassidus add to everyday life.
Through a rigorous academic program of both Limudei Kodesh and Limudei Chol, as well as goal-oriented Bnos Chabad programs, BCA inspires within its students the confidence to discover and cultivate their own unique talents and to note their accomplishments with pride. The school’s focus is to foster dignified young women who will be able to assess their actions, and who will develop the sensitivity to make decisions which positively impact their growth and development in school and beyond.
CURRICULUM
Limudei Kodesh
The rigorous Limudei Kodesh curriculum is designed to imbue our students with a love for learning and a commitment to living their lives as Bnos Yisroel and Bnos Chabad. As students learn Chumash and Nach in-depth, they develop the ability to think critically and hone their skills for deeper comprehension of mefarshim. Classes in Chassidus, Hashkafa, Tanya, Maamarim, Sichos, Historia and Halacha, impart life-long lessons encouraging students to question so they can understand, internalize and apply that which is being learned.
Bnos Chabad
In addition to the strong emphasis on learning, it is the environment and spirit of Chassidus which shape our students' future. An active Bnos Chabad, working with a BCA madricha, plans shabbatons, farbrengens and meaningful school activities, with students taking on leadership roles heading the different committees. All the yamei d'pagra are marked with inspirational programs, projects, workshops and speakers. In addition, students have the opportunity to express their creativity through our annual musical production.
A BCA mechaneches is available to speak with the students to help them in their growth as individuals and their journey through high school.
In the secular studies program, students advance through a challenging 4-year sequence in English, Math, History, Science, and Hebrew language. The life skills acquired enable students to stretch their minds, broaden their horizons and gain confidence in their ability to succeed. Through different modalities of teaching, each student is able to grasp the material, as learning comes to life in the classroom. Extra-curricular classes in art, physical education, personal finance, public speaking/debate and sewing, round out the comprehensive program.
