The Katherine and Jacob Greenfield Hebrew Academy, educating three year olds through 8th grade, has set the standard for Jewish education in Atlanta for over fifty years. Founded in 1953, it was the first Jewish day school to be accredited by its the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and has been awarded many honors since. GHA prides itself on its ability to meet each child’s educational needs; students receive the curriculum which is best suited for them. Regular classroom studies may be supplemented by courses such as Discovery and Enrichment for gifted students, Ulpan for Hebrew language skills, and Resource Room for remediation. In addition, the newly expanded M'silot/Pathways school-within-a-school for students who learn differently fills a unique niche in local Jewish education. A comprehensive afternoon school program, featuring a rich variety of activities in the arts, theater, band, and sports, rounds out their day. GHA provides academic excellence while enabling its graduates to feel comfortable and competent in any Jewish environment. Many alumni have attributed their strong sense of community to their early education at the Academy.
