In our Early Childhood classes, Judaic studies and general studies are integrated throughout the day. In grades 1-8, half of the school day is dedicated to Judaic studies and half to general studies. Middle school begins in 5th grade with a departmental schedule. Students also engage in specials including gym, art, music, library, and digital literacy/technology.

Classes are coed and typically have two class sections per grade. Early Childhood classes average 15 students, and grades 1-8 average 20 students. Preschool through 4th grade classrooms have two teachers each.

Our nurturing, dedicated team of professionals identifies and addresses the individual needs of each student, providing students with instruction and support in all areas of academic, organizational, social, and emotional growth. In partnership with parents, we encourage each child to reach
their full potential.

Starting in 1st grade, girls are expected to wear skirts that cover the knee when standing and sitting, and shirts with sleeves that reach the halfway point
between the elbow and shoulder. Boys are expected to wear tzitzit and a kippah starting in preschool. From 1st grade, boys must wear a collared shirt and neat pants (no athletic pants).  For more details, please see our Parent Handbook.

Bus service is available to Skokie, West Rogers Park, and Highland Park/Northbrook in the afternoon for grades K-8. Drop-off and pick-up for the preschool are curbside, and your drop-off location depends on the grade level. Drop-off and pick-up from K-8 are in the circular drive in front of the main building.

Hot Lunch is available for purchase through the PTA five days a week for grades K-8 and three days a week for preschool. Lunches must be ordered online, in advance during the designated sign-up period.

The Hillel Torah PTA offers many initiatives to help parents
connect, support the school and teachers, and volunteer in
our community. Parent Ambassadors are excited to welcome
and serve as a resource for prospective and new Hillel Torah
families. To connect with an Ambassador, contact Karin

Financial assistance is available for preschool and K-8 tuition. We are proud partners with the TAP Fund, a new tuition affordability program. For more details, on tuition and financial assistance contact Dov Shandalov, our Business Administrator, [email protected].
