Bnei Akiva Schools serves the Jewish community of metropolitan Toronto, the largest city in Canada and one of the most culturally diverse in North America. At present, students from as far as Hamilton, New York, Calgary and Vancouver attend our school. We are a private school inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education and affiliated with UJA’s Centre for Jewish Education.

Yeshivat Or Chaim, the boys’ division, was founded in 1973, and Ulpanat Orot, the girls’ division, was established in 1974. Both schools seek to provide the Jewish community of Toronto with educational institutions that emphasize excellence in both Judaic and general studies, a commitment to religious growth, and a close attachment to the language, land and people of the modern State of Israel. There are currently over 280 students enrolled at the separate campuses.
