We Are Torah Academy
ֲחנך לנער על פִּי דרכו גם כי יזקין לא יסור ממנה: משלי כב:ו
Educate the child on his own path and even when he is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
Our Mission
Torah Academy of Jacksonville is a Torah Umesorah affiliated Jewish day school whose mission is the ongoing commitment to excellence in providing each student with the highest quality Judaic and General Studies education in a respectful, safe and nurturing environment.
Our Vision
Torah Academy’s vision is to instill within our students a lifelong love of learning and living. We educate children to become knowledgeable in academic areas and sensitive to moral and ethical concerns.
TA’s faculty is passionate in its commitment to motivate and inspire children to achieve their personal best, to enhance their self-esteem, and to involve parents as partners in the growth process. Our Judaic Studies teachers are living role models of Torah values and mitzvah observance.
TA inculcates a love for our American heritage, loyalty to the Jewish people, and support for the State of Israel. Students are taught to understand the importance of good manners and derech eretz at all times and exhibit sensitivity for teachers, parents and each other. The school instills a sense of responsibility, chessed, and community service.
