I would like to take this opportunity to bring
you up-to-date on the wonderful things that are going on here at the Hebrew
Academy.
The HAMC has just
received the highest honor of the U.S. Department of Education, “Blue Ribbon for
Academic Excellence.” In our 39th year of existence we are getting
the acknowledgment we deserve for something we have been doing for a long time.
Generations of students have passed through the doors of the HAMC, and now we
have validation for what we already knew — that they received the best education
possible.
Our 8th
graders, on the whole, enter high school, well-prepared and, in many cases,
having already covered the required readings and topics while here at the
Academy.
The heart and soul of our Judaic studies curriculum is the
teaching of Derech Eretz, meaning, in its broadest sense, acting with
consideration and kindness to one’s fellow human beings. I often hear from many
former families that the values their children learned while at the Hebrew
Academy had a major impact on their families’ lives. Our mitzvah projects,
Jewish values classes, and community service activities have earned us a
reputation as a loving, giving, and nurturing school.
Please feel free to call me at any time if you have any questions.
I look forward to hearing from you and showing you around our school.
Moshe Vaknin
Head of School
