We’re so proud of our students and alumni who took part in last week’s Toronto 2026 JCC Maccabi Games® & Access

So proud, in fact, that we thought it would be fun to shine a little spotlight on them here on social.

If you participated in the games, are in Toronto this week, and would like to be featured in a social post with some super-cool photography, we’d love to hear from you!

Did you know that August 4 marks the halfway point of summer break?!

We’re not going to lie—TanenbaumCHAT just isn’t the same without our students, faculty, and staff. We hope you’re making the most of every sunny day, new adventure, and well-deserved moment to recharge.

That being said, we miss you sooooooo much and can’t wait to welcome everyone back after Labour Day to hear all about your summer adventures. Until then, enjoy every minute—September will be here before you know it 😜

This morning, our faculty and staff came together to celebrate the end of another wonderful school year.

Thanks to our incredible organizing committee, the morning was filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and a few tearful goodbyes as we celebrated colleagues taking sabbaticals, beginning exciting new professional chapters, and/or enjoying well-earned retirements.

The breakfast also marked the final official day of Head of School Dr. Jonathan Levy, who is leaving our school after an extraordinary 17 years of dedicated leadership and service.

We wish our entire school community a happy, healthy, and restful summer, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall!

Today was no ordinary PD Day at !

Our incredible faculty and staff were surprised with a carnival featuring popcorn, cotton candy, games, prizes, dancing, and, of course, an ice cream truck!

It was a small way to say thank you to the amazing educators and staff whose dedication, passion, and care make our school community so special every single day.

Shabbat Shalom everyone!

As another incredible school year comes to a close, our faculty gathered for a day of meaningful professional learning focused on one of education’s most transformative opportunities: Artificial Intelligence.

Led by the incredible team at , our educators explored innovative ways to thoughtfully integrate AI into teaching, learning, and assessment—empowering students while preserving the critical thinking, creativity, and human connection that define a TanenbaumCHAT education.

At TanenbaumCHAT, we’ve never viewed AI as a trend to follow, but as a tool to thoughtfully embrace. Guided by our Jewish values, we’ve been at the forefront of responsible AI integration in education—so much so that our work was recently recognized as a case study for educational innovation.

As technology continues to evolve, so will we—ensuring our students are equipped with the skills, ethics, and confidence to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

As his remarkable journey draws to a close, Head of School Dr. Jonathan Levy has shared a heartfelt message reflecting on 17 years of leadership.

Originally sent to students, parents, faculty, and staff earlier today, we wanted to ensure our alumni, grandparents, and wider school community also had the opportunity to read his reflections.

Fun Fact: Our Class of 2026 weren’t the only alumni called to the stage last week to begin an exciting new chapter. Kol Hakavod to Issy Wunder ’21, who was selected 13th overall by the new Las Vegas franchise in the 2026 PWHL Draft

When congratulated by our Alumni Relations Officer, Issy shared: “I have always been proud to represent CHAT in the hockey world, and now all the way in Vegas.”

Rest assured, Issy—we’re already looking ahead to Las Vegas’ first stop in Toronto and can’t wait to cheer extra loudly for our favourite new PWHL player.
