Hebrew: נתיבות התורה‎) is a private Orthodox Jewish elementary school in Thornhill, Ontario. The school is mostly characterized by its Modern Orthodox and Zionist approach to the entire curriculum, with an emphasis on "Ivrit b'Ivrit" (Hebrew subjects taught in Hebrew) and teachers who are shlichim, Israeli emissaries living in Canada on short three-to-five year terms. This gives students an authentic taste of modern Israeli language and culture. As well, the students learn better Hebrew from the shlichim.

As of 2006, it teaches approximately 500 students from Junior Kindergarten up to grade 8. In addition to the regular Ontario curriculum, the school teaches the Hebrew language, Torah, and various other Jewish related topics. The school is affiliated with Mercaz (formerly known as the Board of Jewish Education), the educational pillar of the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto.

After completing grade 8, the students mostly feed into either Bnei Akiva Schools or Tanenbaum CHAT.
