HASMONEAN HIGH SCHOOL

Hasmonean High School for Boys and Hasmonean High School for Girls, two centres of excellence in education serving the Orthodox Jewish community of North-West London, form the Trust. Each student, staff member and parent is aware of the school's great purpose: nurturing students to live a Torah-based life in Derech Eretz (to bring success to the wider world without compromising the attitudes and values enshrined in the Torah). Since Hasmonean's first school was founded to provide refugees from t... he Holocaust with a future, it has always been with this ethos that their students become successful, responsible members of society today. Academic achievement is only part of Hasmonean's values. Teachers are expected to deliver quality religious education, outstanding secular studies, and a broad and enriched curriculum that promotes values such as chesed (kindness) and tzedokah (supporting charities). Although the vast majority of their graduates go on to study in world-class yeshivas, before pursuing university education and a wide variety of careers, all students are well-prepared for their future lives.More
