Welcome to Hillel Academy
Hillel Academy, accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in the United States (SACS), was founded in 1969 by the Jewish community of Jamaica as a non-denominational, independent, co-educational, multi-cultural school with a programme comparable to other international schools worldwide.
Located in the foothills of Jamaica’s famous Blue Mountains range, Hillel Academy educates Jamaican students as well as families of the international community who are seeking high standards and an international focus for children in the age range 3- 18 years. More...
With a total student l population of just over 700 students, class sizes in all sections of the school are sufficiently small for every student’s needs to be recognized individually. Enrichment facilities, together with academically accelerated programmes, help us to cater for wide-ranging needs.
In addition to over forty classrooms, our facilities include I.T. Labs, three science labs – Biology, Chemistry and Physics, libraries in both Schools, art studios, music rooms a multi purpose hall, a 25 meter swimming pool, 3 tennis courts and a multi purpose court for basketball, netball, volley ball . We are currently in the process of developing two new football fields, one FIFA regulation size. We are also expanding our Sixth form facilities to include 8 new classrooms and a outdoor covered patio area, which are currently under construction.
Throughout the Academic Year the PTA organizes various fundraisers to support special projects or activities at the school, and it sponsors social and special events for staff and students.
The Association also provides volunteers for year-round assistance to students, faculty, staff and administration through special programmes, projects or area of support.
The PTA assists in the flow of information between parents and school administration, faculty/ staff and the Board of Governors, and promotes good relations among the entire School community.
