Netivot HaTorah Day School
Netivot HaTorah is a co-educational Pre-Nursery through Grade 8 school that supports the diversity of the Orthodox community in Toronto. At Netivot HaTorah personalities emerge, individuality develops, friendships form, and your child thrives. We are inspired by three guiding pillars: Torah, Israel and Derech Eretz. Our mission: Netivot is dedicated to the development of the whole child. Through powerful religious and academic learning experiences we cultivate in our children connections between Torah and everyday life, a love for and support of Medinat Yisrael, and their growth as respectful individuals and positive contributors to Am Yisrael and society at large. In order to accomplish our mission, we: Guide every child to create the vital habits of heart, mind and neshama (soul) that make a fulfilling and meaningful Torah life; Recognize that each student is an individual, and seek to ignite their unique potential; Nurture each student to be confident, and feel loved and respected; and Help each student advance towards a mastery of Judaic and General studies using a child-centered learning approach. We aim towards proficiency in Hebrew language as the means to most fully access Jewish culture and texts. Our vision is that each of our students is uniquely prepared and proud to live a life guided by and committed to Torah values and Halacha, integrated with knowledge of the sciences and humanities and a deep connection to Israel. This will enrich each child, their home, and the world around them.
