We can’t wait to welcome you!
At Kol Ami, we believe that Shabbat is the heart of Jewish life – a time for learning, prayer, and community. By holding Hebrew School on Saturday mornings, we model meaningful Jewish living and invite families to learn and grow together. While children learn in class, parents are welcome to attend services, enjoy a coffee, or take time for themselves. And Sundays are free!
The last 20 minutes of the day is Shabbat Family T’fillah (“SFT”) in which students and parents gather to pray, sing, and learn together. It is a great way to meet other families, find out what’s happening in the classroom, and celebrate Shabbat with your child.
Hebrew School begins promptly on Saturday mornings at 9:30 AM. Please arrive no more than 5–10 minutes early.
A Joyful, Hands-On Jewish Education
Our dynamic, experiential curriculum blends creativity with meaningful content from JK through Grade 7, including:
Our students don’t just learn about Judaism – they live it through hands-on activities that make every Shabbat morning engaging and memorable.
At Kol Ami, Jewish life doesn’t stop after B’nai Mitzvah – it evolves, deepens, and grows. Our teens, grades 8-12, stay connected through leadership, learning, social action, and community.

At Kol Ami, learning is grounded in Jewish values:
Students take part in social action projects that connect learning with making a difference – locally and globally.
We are proudly inclusive, progressive, and egalitarian. Interfaith and LGBTQ+ families are always welcomed. We support all learning styles, and a Student Support Specialist is available to ensure every child is supported and celebrated.
Our Wednesday program offers online 15-minute, individual, personalized instruction for Grades 3–7 at Level 2 or higher. It helps reinforce Hebrew skills and Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation.
Kol Ami is committed to supporting families from our community who have experienced severe financial challenges and cannot afford to pay for their children’s part-time Jewish education.
In order to ensure that every child receives the Jewish education they deserve, Kol Ami has partnered with the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto through UJA Community Scholarships. If you require a subsidy for the Kol Ami School, please apply for a scholarship through UJA Community Scholarships.
