Admissions
Welcome! !ברוכים הבאים
Thank you for your interest in Bi-Cultural Hebrew Academy of Connecticut.
Without question, choosing a school for your child is a challenging experience. Every child, every family is different, and the considerations are many.
We know the task is daunting, and we are here to help you in any way we can and answer all questions you may have.
In our very special educational environment, children find the perfect setting for achievement, personal growth, social development and gaining self-confidence that enables each one to reach his or her full intellectual potential; while also building leadership skills and discovering the value of community involvement.
In our school’s warm and nurturing atmosphere, students are encouraged to strive for excellence in Judaic and secular studies, and to have a love for Israel.
At Bi-Cultural, you are not only choosing a school of academic excellence, but you are choosing a community–a family– that is welcoming, engaging, and highly involved. Lifelong friendships blossom at Bi-Cultural, not only among the children but among their parents.
The true experience of our school can only be appreciated with a visit. We encourage you to email or call to schedule your tour.
Find out why parents have been choosing Bi-Cultural for more than 70 years, and why our alumni return to the community in large numbers and send their children and grandchildren here.
I welcome the opportunity to learn more about your family and to introduce you to ours.
