Job description

Bialik Hebrew Day School is a thriving Kindergarten to Grade 8 Jewish day school in the GTA, educating more than 1,600 students at our two branches – the Viewmount Branch located in midtown Toronto and the Himel Branch located on the Vaughan Jewish Community Campus. Since opening its doors in 1961, Bialik has offered high-quality General and Jewish Studies programs with a commitment to academic innovation and excellence. Bialik’s non-prescriptive Jewish education comprises Hebrew literacy, Zionism and Jewish values and identity. The school is committed to developing students into top-tier thinkers and problem solvers with the qualities and skills that will help them become future Canadian and Jewish leaders. In response to the growing community need for Jewish education, Bialik opened a new facility for its Junior Kindergarten students – to be known as “Viewmount Pincus Campus” – located at Holy Blossom Temple.
