Torah Academy was founded in 1982 by the Bostoner Rebbe and a group of observant Jewish parents. Together they created a school that provides a strong traditional religious education and an outstanding general academic curriculum for their children.
Torah Academy’s goals are:
* To instill a love for Jewish learning and
tradition and, through Jewish textual
study, to teach young people to live by
Jewish law and the moral and ethical
values of Torah.
* To prepare observant Jewish students
for success in the secular world
through a challenging, high-quality
program in general academic subjects.
Torah Academy pursues these goals through individualized attention that allows each child’s strengths to blossom. The school’s friendly, encouraging environment gently fosters excellence and a commitment to community service. Torah Academy’s combined Jewish and general studies programs promote scholastic achievement, self-confidence and strength of character, encouraging students to develop a passion for learning and to look beyond themselves toward life’s larger goals. Torah Academy also models that community focus by publishing a guide to resources in the Greater Boston Jewish community.
Highlights of our educational program:
* An extensive middle school science
and math curriculum that includes
applied mathematics and challenging
experiments and research;
* An English and U.S. history curriculum
that emphasizes communication skills,
literary analysis and group research;
* In-depth study of Biblical and Talmudic
texts emphasizing ethical and moral
development;
* Extended day program activities such
as art, choir, recreation and tutoring;
* A service learning program that
includes visits to residents of elderly
housing and nursing homes;
assistance to bereaved individuals
and families, and volunteering for
Jewish community organizations such
as Yad Hesed, which collects and
distributes food for the hungry, and
Project Rofeh, which provides services
for families dealing with serious
medical crises.
The nurturing atmosphere of Torah Academy offers love, respect and educational stimulation to our students. It is the goal of the Yeshivah to send our student body off into life with a deep-rooted sense of purpose, self-identity and pride in their religious heritage.
