North Shore Hebrew Academy High School

175 Community Drive, Great Neck, NY, 11021 -

School Notes Overview:

The North Shore Hebrew Academy High School combines the best of Jewish and Secular Studies into an integrated, well-rounded, and personally rewarding education for each of its students. We want to help students realize their fullest potential, knowing that in doing so, they will gain a greater appreciation for learning and for their own self-worth. This kind of education must be seen as the basic right of all students in our school. Classes will be co-educational and will seek to accommodate the needs of many different kinds of students by exposing them to a variety of spiritual and intellectual perspectives. In this light, we will encourage individual students to bring their own unique insights and interpretations to the curriculum. A primary purpose of the school's program will be to enable each individual student to discover his or her own area of interest and expertise, be it in the classroom texts, the sciences, the arts, or the extra-curricular realm. This will, of course, coincide with our commitment to give students the tools and the drive to succeed on the highest academic levels after they graduate. Yet it will serve an even greater responsibility: nurturing the creativity and self-esteem of all our students in the areas that best suit them, during their formative adolescent years. The North Shore Hebrew Academy High School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. ...
