The question we hear most from prospective parents: If we spend this much time on Torah and Hebrew, will my child fall behind academically?
Turn your sound on and listen to our third graders.
When you teach a child how to decode, analyze, and translate at this level by age nine, general academics become easy. Torah study isn’t taking away from their education; it’s the engine behind it.

Every great achievement starts with the courage to try. 🏀
At Hebrew Academy, we believe that confidence isn't just taught, it’s built by giving kids the space, the tools, and the encouragement to take their shot. On the court, in the classroom, and everywhere in between.
Your child has the potential. We provide the opportunity.
Discover the HACDS difference for yourself.

Our pride isn’t just about where we came from; it’s about where we are going.
When the Torah was given, our children were named its ultimate guarantors.
Every song, every classroom moment, every celebration, and every connection becomes part of how Jewish pride is learned, lived, and loved.
Together with our families, we are proud to help raise a generation that carries our story forward with joy.
Wishing our beautiful community a Chag Shavuot Sameach!

What does it mean to be “safe”?
At Hebrew Academy, it doesn’t mean only ‘secure’, it means feeling safe enough to try.
Yesterday, we walked the halls and saw it from our students to our youngest TKers, who were visiting. Hands flying up in every room. They don’t just memorize answers; they catch the vibe: Your voice matters, and your curiosity is celebrated.
We invite you to experience the HACDS difference for yourself. Applications for next year are still open in some grades, and spaces are filling fast.

When you look into a classroom at Hebrew Academy, you don’t see a single lesson aimed at a sea of desks. You see a room full of movement, choices, and focused growth in our center-based Judaic program.
Swipe through to see our third-grade classroom in motion
Direct Teacher Small Groups – where deep, targeted instruction happens face-to-face.
Collaborative Review – where peers lean on and learn from each other using interactive flashcards.
Independent Tasks – where students build the focus and agency to tackle challenges on their own.
Hebrew Review Games – where language mastery meets modern, interactive technology.
We don’t make the child fit the curriculum; we build an environment that empowers the child. When learning is tailored to a student’s soul, they don’t just complete the lesson; they master it.
At Hebrew Academy, the result is always a child who owns their work.
At the Hebrew Academy, our monthly Rosh Chodesh Assembly is the heartbeat of our school culture.
Sitting bench-to-bench in our value circle, singing Hinei Ma Tov together, and watching even our youngest students build the confidence to speak on the microphone—this is what community actually looks like in action.
Huge congratulations to all our new award winners! 🏆 May we grow from strength to strength.

At Hebrew Academy, literacy is about more than just “A-B-Cs.” By the end of 1st grade, our students have the tools to open a Siddur and find their own voice within our legacy.
Most people see a song. We see:
Mastering a dual-alphabet curriculum, while confidently knowing exactly where you belong.
This is who we are. This is what we celebrate.
We often think we are just choosing a school for the next few years. In reality, we are choosing the foundation for the rest of their lives.
Watch how Aviv transitioned from the small classrooms of HACDS to the sprawling campus of UCLA, carrying his identity with him every step of the way.
We need more than just the grades. In today’s world we need the foundation.

When you see our 2nd graders deep in their Animal Research projects, you aren’t just seeing a science report. You are seeing the skills of the future being built in real-time.
Critical Thinking: Synthesizing complex data into a technical report.
Creative Engineering: Prototyping 3D habitats from a blank canvas.
Collaboration: Learners solving problems as one team.
At HACDS, we don’t just teach “subjects.” We develop the thinkers, leaders, and collaborators the 21st century demands.
