At the Phoenix Hebrew Academy, we strive for excellence in both our Judaic and General Studies programs.
In order to achieve this goal, our school emphasizes two major elements: academic excellence and personal concern for each child.
It is our goal to help our students develop a strong, positive Jewish identity, a love for Judaism and a deep sense of commitment to and involvement with Israel, the Phoenix Jewish community and our brethren worldwide.
The Phoenix Hebrew Academy, founded in 1965, is a trailblazer in the field of Jewish education in Phoenix.
We are proud of our school's achievements and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to build on our reputation and provide yet another year of quality Torah and secular education to our students, our school and the community.
