About Us

Welcome to Striar Hebrew Academy of Sharon (SHAS), a coeducational, Modern Orthodox day school in South-area Boston, serving students toddler-age through Grade 6. From the youngest ages through our elementary grades, SHAS students receive caring, individualized attention, made possible by our low student-to-faculty ratio and our compassionate teachers.  This intimate environment creates a strong feeling of community, which provides a comfort level in which students thrive socially, emotionally and academically.

Families choose SHAS because they seek a challenging and supportive environment where they can be partners in their child's education. Our integrated curriculum leads students to become confident, critical thinkers with a passion for learning. They emerge as young Jews with a well-defined sense of their own Jewish identity and values. Our guiding principle is the concept of Torah u'Mada (Torah and worldly knowledge). The value of combining a Judaic and general education was the vision behind our school's founding and, today, remains at the core of our educational philosophy.
