Hillel
Academy:
Our
roots are deep, Our reach is
high.
The
value of a day school education extends far
beyond learning history, customs and
ceremonies, and prayers. Hillel Academy
helps young students form strong Jewish
identities.As
a true community school Hillel Academy
brings together children from all corners of
Binghamton's Jewish community—Conservative,
Orthodox, Reform, and unaffiliated—in a
warm, nurturing environment. Hillel Academy
fosters a community spirit based on mutual
acceptance, and recognizes, respects and
values diversity.
Students
and families are to register for the upcoming academic
year.
Two
days after area schools closed due to Covid, Hillel
Academy was back online - each student received a
Chromebook (our youngest received Ipdads). Our faculty
offered a full-day curriculum with synchronous
instruction utilizing Google Classroom and other apps.
No matter what the Fall brings, we will offer our
students (and parents) a full week of instruction,
either in-person or online
synchronously.

Teaching
to Learning
One
of the great benefits of a Hillel Academy education is the
focus on learning, and not mandated exams. Our teachers are
able to customize the curriculum to focus on individual
students, while challenging the entire class to strive. Our
exceptional faculty prepare our students for middle school,
by encouraging them as learners -- and our students do very
well when they transition from Hillel Academy. Our teachers
offer a creative, non testing-centered approach to the
Common Core, augmented by art, music, Judaics, and special
programs. Hillel Academy classes are capped at 12
students.
Mrs.
Sarah Macdougal, our Secular Studies Coordinator, is an
exceptional educator who has been with Hillel Academy for
many years. She oversees and directs the planning,
organizing, and implementation of secular education for the
students, including helping our excellent faculty refresh
the curriculum grade by grade. Mrs. MacD also coordinates
and integrates programming with our Judaics faculty. We are
incredibly fortunate to have assembled a top-notch faculty
who are committed to continuing our well earned tradition of
excellence.
