Admissions

For over four decades, Bnei Akiva Schools has been developing outstanding Bnei and Bnot Torah who are immersed in Ahavat Yisrael, Derech Eretz, and social responsibility towards the Jewish and secular communities in Canada and around the world.

Whether attending Yeshivat Or Chaim or Ulpanat Orot, the schools are places where young men and women can grow intellectually, emotionally and religiously in a vibrant Jewish setting. In keeping with the maxim of the worldwide Bnei Akiva Youth Movement, Am Yisrael, b’Eretz Yisrael, al pi Torat Yisrael (the Nation of Israel living in the Land of Israel according to the Torah of Israel), Zionism plays an integral part of the schools’ philosophy and is deeply rooted in the curriculum.

Bnei Akiva Schools is a private school, inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education, and affiliated with the Julia & Henry Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Education at UJA Federation of Greater Toronto. Combined enrollment currently stands at over 270 students, including children of early graduating classes.
The mission of Bnei Akiva Schools is to inculcate within our students an appreciation for and a commitment to Torah observance and values. We offer a dual curriculum of Judaic and General Studies that will arm our students with the methodological tools needed to become self-reliant in classical Jewish texts and give them a broad-based secular grounding in the classical world disciplines. We strongly encourage and help facilitate our students continuing their Judaic studies at Yeshivot and Midrashot in Eretz Yisrael and in other institutions of higher Jewish learning.
