Associated Hebrew Schools of Toronto is a private traditional elementary (nursery to Grade 5) and middle school (Grade 6 to Grade 8) Jewish day school with two campuses in Toronto, Ontario and one campus in Thornhill, Ontario. The three branches are; the Kamin Education Centre (Bet Hayeled – Gr. 5) located in Thornhill, the Posluns Education Centre (Bet Hayeled – Gr. 5) located in Toronto, and the Hurwich Education Centre (Danilack Middle School) also located in Toronto. Founded in 1907, it was incorporated as a not-for profit organization in 1922. With a total enrollment of about 2,000 students, it is the largest elementary and middle school for Jewish children in Toronto. Today the school is run by Dr. Mark Smiley, Director of Education. Associated Hebrew Schools instills in its students many positive Jewish values, such as Torah, Mitzvot, and Derech eretz. Students are educated in English, Hebrew, and French.

[edit] Feeder patterns

Graduates from this school most often attend high school at the Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto or a local public school. A minority of students attend a more observant religious high school, often the Yeshivat Or Chaim boys school or Ulpanat Orot girls school, or a non-parochial private high school.
