Celebrating 50 years of Excellence in Education

At Hillel Academy of Denver, we have struck a balance between tradition Jewish values and identity and the world in which our children will live. We believe that both are important for a successful and meaningful life experience.

The environment at Hillel Academy is dynamic, focusing on Jewish life and values and equally emphasizing our place in American society. We pursue creative learning and academic excellence in both the Judaic and General Studies programs. We pride ourselves on being an interdisciplinary setting, where students learn about the many aspects of who they are, and then fit them together, understanding themselves as complete human beings. Hillel Academy is designed to prepare the Jewish child to live a Torah way of life. It is a professionally run private school in which instruction takes place for a full school day.

The multi-faceted curriculum features an intensive Torah studies (limudei kodesh) program, a high quality, comprehensive general studies curriculum, and an emphasis on the development of midos tovos (good character traits). We believe thast the elementary and junior high years are a period when proper attitudes and skills are developed. We encourage self-discipline and self-motivation within the framework of positive group and individual activities.

Hillel Academy is a member school of Torah Umesorah - the National Society for Hebrew Day Schools, an organization guided by preeminent Torah authorities. The boys and girls are educated in sparate divisions from third grade until eighth grade, and are taught within a framework which maximizes their educational experience.

Hillel offers a complete program of studies from preschool through eighth grade. The dedicated efforts of the Hillel Academy lay leadership, adminstration, and teaching staff combine to produce an outstanding spirit of achievement in both Jewish and general studies departments. The general studies curriculum is designed to help prepare the children for productive and successful lives in whatever endeavors they choose, as well as in the general society.

Each student at Hillel Academy is viewed as a precious part of Klal Yisroel. Hillel Academy tries to provide a proper Torah education to each of its students, infusing an understanding and appreciation of Torah and Mitzvos. In this way, the Hillel Academy Student will be properly prepared to continue his or her education toward living a meaningful life of Torah and Mitzvos, with Torah values, ethics and conduct. The Hillel Academy student, thus, is receiving not only a classroom education, but rather is being given the foundation for living a Torah life of true contentment and value.
