Tarbut V'Torah is dedicated to providing its students with a program of academic excellence in secular and Judaic studies. While Tarbut V'Torah's mission is to create an atmosphere that challenges students in core curricula, such as math, science, and the arts, it also seeks to provide a nurturing atmosphere that fosters confidence and memories that last a lifetime. In addition, Tarbut V'Torah strives to instill in our students a strong sense of Jewish values, ethics, and identity. Students graduate from Tarbut V'Torah with commitment to the Jewish community, strong knowledge of our history and traditions, and a deep love of learning. Upon completion, they are leaders and effective communicators, who can use their knowledge to think clearly and creatively providing a future for our community. TVT’s mission is to teach our children to think creatively, challenge them to achieve to their fullest potential, prepare them to be leaders, strengthen their sense of Jewish identity and community, and equip them to live a joyous and meaningful Jewish life.

School Reviews:

  • Recommended February 14,2013 - Our daughter started Kindergarten this year and we have had a wonderful experience. The teachers are caring and nurturing while encouraging the kids to do their best. The differentiated approach to learning allows students to learn at their own pace and keeps them challenged. The campus is beautiful and is set up in villages so it feels small and intimate for each grade. The school does a great job of integrating students of all ages together for example the kindergarteners were taught cheers by the high school cheerleaders for a school spirit night. The school has been warm and welcoming to our entire family and we look forward to spending many more years at TVT.*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended January 31,2013 - World class. Parents routinely burst into tears after visiting the school, saying, "I wish I could have gone here." Beautiful facilities; outstanding, dedicated faculty and staff. The ability to focus on the specific needs of every single student. My 4th grader actually said, "I wish it weren''t Sunday. I wish I had school today." He never said that at his previous school. This school is as good as it gets.*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended January 31,2013 - This is our 9th year at this wonderful school. Our 3 boys are thriving and have grown to feel TVT is their family. The teachers are warm and caring, and our boys each get the attention and educational instruction they need. I feared when we left pre-school that I would miss being an environment that felt safe and special but TVT has maintained that all the way through 12th grade. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this community.*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended January 31,2013 - My Daughters started TVT in Kindergaten and both have had an amazing experience to date. Once we started our first daughter at TVT we knew we could go nowhere else. Each year the girls have had an amazing experience with excellent teachers that help them soar. The girls thrive in TVT''s academically and Judaic rich environment that helps them achieve academic success but also reinforces our family''s Jewish values and help them to be a "mench". Our girls are receiving an excellent education where they are becoming critical thinkers. TVT offers an amazing lesson plan which provides the children not only the basics, but also includes as part of their curriculum, a robust science program, music, art, computers, foreign language, and Jewish Studies. We have one more child who just joined the TVT family in 2012 when she started kindergarten, and I am confident that her experience at TVT will be the same as her siblings. TVT''s kindergarten set the stage for children to have a passion for learning that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. If you are looking for a private school please take a tour. You will see why I am so excited by TVT!*-Posted by Parent *
