Striar Hebrew
Academy provides its students with an open and stimulating environment
in which they are able to develop an exceptional foundation in both
General and Judaic Studies. Our
school’s curriculum enables our children to develop a love of learning
by acquiring skills in critical thought and multi-modal problem-solving
that they are able to apply to all areas of study.
Our faculty and administration recognize the unique
abilities and talents of each student and work with every child
utilizing a broad spectrum of teaching tools in order to meet a
developmentally appropriate range of cognitive profiles and learning
styles. We encourage our students to realize their potential in an
atmosphere that is dedicated to personal growth and academic excellence
in all the facets of their experience at Striar Hebrew Academy.
Our educational philosophy rests on a foundation of
Modern Orthodox Judaism and embraces child-centered, integrated and
innovative teaching in all of our curricular, co-curricular and
extracurricular programs.

Striar Hebrew Academy is
privileged to be serviced by Gateways/Jewish Special
Education Collaborative (JSEC), whose mission is to help students
succeed in a day school environment by providing services such as early
detection, intervention and prevention of learning difficulties. A team of special educators from
Gateways/JSEC is available
on-site to teachers and students presently enrolled at the participating
day schools. The Gateways/JSEC team provides services to students in and out of
the classroom, consults with classroom teachers, and meets with school
staff and parents. Depending on their needs, students may receive
assistance from one or more of the core team members. Gateways/JSEC staff
includes an occupational therapist, speech-language pathologist,
learning specialist, social worker, and consulting educational
psychologist.
The collaboration among the day schools allows all
participating parties to share professionals and resources and enables
quality services to be provided at a reduced fee. Gateways/JSEC is funded in part
by a grant from the Bureau of Jewish Education and Combined Jewish
Philanthropies.
