Intervention options ensure student achievement
A strong partnership among home, school, and the community promotes students’ success
A variety of tools that are consistent, ongoing, and aligned with instruction can best assess student progress

Southern Connecticut Hebrew Academy was founded on the ideals of Torah and as such, ethics and values are incorporated into every aspect of the student’s day. Our students develop outstanding academic and social skills while building the self-confidence necessary to succeed in a contemporary world.
