Parent Experience

History
The Talmud Torah | Herzliah system has stood at the forefront of Jewish education in Montreal for over 120 years. It began in 1896 when Rabbi M.A. Ashinsky launched an afternoon program for twenty Jewish boys, moved to Saint-Urbain Street in 1903, and admitted female students starting in 1911; in 1917 it united with other Talmud Torahs under the United Talmud Torahs of Montreal and shifted instruction from Yiddish to Hebrew. The 1930s brought a new building and full-day primary schooling, and Herzliah High School opened nearby in 1946; a French Section was created in 1986. In 2013 the schools were renamed Azrieli Talmud Torah | Herzliah, expanded to the Snowdon campus, and since then earned CAIS accreditation (2016) and opened the Sylvan Adams Campus in 2018 with support from the Azrieli Foundation; Prizmah accreditation followed in 2023. Today, Montreal's first private Jewish day school remains a close-knit, multilingual community preparing students for leadership with a clear Jewish identity.

Community
The Azrieli Talmud Torah | Herzliah community is close-knit and multilingual, welcoming families from diverse backgrounds. Student life includes student government, religious celebrations, sports, cultural programs, and various clubs, with connections to the broader Jewish world through video conferencing. The school emphasizes values such as KAVOD (Respect), G'VURAH (Courage), KLAL YISRAEL, TIKUN OLAM (CHESED), and ACHRAYUT (Responsibility), and fosters a sense of belonging to the Jewish people and to Israel. The community collaborates with organizations such as Prizmah, the Center for Jewish Day Schools.
