Long Island Hebrew Academy (LIHA) is a Jewish Day School committed to providing its students, families and community the highest standards in Jewish and Secular education. LIHA is founded on the principles of Torah values, love of Israel and dedication to the people of Israel. Our Goal is to prepare our students to become confident life long learners, leaders and productive citizens of the world.
It is our belief that learning is a supremely valuable human endeavor. Proficiency in the traditional Jewish texts such as the Siddur, Torah and Mishna combined with a superior multi-disciplinary education, enables our children to be reflective, knowledgeable and responsible participants in the world. LIHA is an innovative learning center which thoughtfully combines progressive approaches to education while:
• Engaging students in a comprehensive study of the classical Jewish texts
• Building knowledge and essential learning skills through experience of inquiry and discovery
• Empowering our students to become critical and creative thinkers in all disciplines
• Cultivating respectful partnerships between students, parents, teachers that nurture each individual and builds community
At LIHA students learn by observing, considering the meaning of what they see, by discussing ideas, debating concepts and making each discovery their own. LIHA weaves together into a synergetic whole, per our Sephardic Heritage, excellence in secular education and excellence in Judaic Studies. The schools diverse community brings together families with various religious backgrounds but united in their values for respect for each person and love of study.
