Our leading Judaic Studies program is anchored in our nationally recognized Ivrit b'Ivrit curriculum taught by a staff of Israeli morim shlichim and bnot sherut.

We have partnered with Northwestern University's Center for Talent Development to enhance our STEAM programming.

Our PTA Fun Run emphasizes the importance of fun in physical fitness and service to our community. The Fun Run raised funds to update our outdoor recess area.

About Us

Founded in 1962, Hillel Torah continues to be a leader in progressive Modern Orthodox education, serving the greater Chicagoland Jewish community. We provide an excellent and equally rigorous general and Judaic education within a child-centered approach where children are engaged in learning, exploration, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. Our leading Judaic program is anchored in our nationally recognized Ivrit b’Ivrit (Hebrew language immersion) program taught by our staff of Israeli morim shlichim and bnot sherut who bring an authentic taste of Torat Yisrael, Hebrew language and culture to our students and families.

Academics

At Hillel Torah, children are at the center of everything we do. Our cutting-edge, progressive educational program is designed to engage children in learning, exploration, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking in all subjects at all ages. We recognize that learning can only take place in a healthy social and emotional atmosphere and we prioritize the value of creative classroom communities where children feel a sense of belonging and safety.

Hillel Torah does so much more than educate our children. It’s a place where we have found a family, a community, a home.

Yehudit Gavant, Parent
The animated way in which my preschooler told us about the parsha on Friday night shows not only that you prioritize instituting Torah in the daily curriculum, but do so in a way that brings passion and excitement for the children as they build on their educational foundation in life.

Robyn Ackerman, Parent
Hillel Torah gave our kids a wonderful foundation in Hebrew language and Jewish studies which has helped them adjust to life in Israel, and we are so grateful for the education they received!

Miriam Katzman, Parent
The familiarity and comfort with Israeli culture the kids get every day through the Shlichim and Banot is amazing. Over winter break, we visited Israel and my son just started singing along to a popular radio song.

Parent
Innovative STEM education takes place every day—from exploring electromagnets and botball to the Museum of Science and Industry School Science Leadership Initiative—kids are engaging with sciencein exciting ways.

Parent
I feel like at HT there is a chance to be a big fish in a smaller pond. I can see and feel the difference I make in each child’s life. I am recognized by my colleagues, administrators, and families for my hard work.
