Private Schools:
Masada College: Primary and High
Masada College is a co-educational private school that raises responsible individual thinkers with a strong sense of social justice and Jewish pride. The college welcomes children from 2 years old at the ELC and continues until Year 12. With children of all ages on the same campus, a true familial and communal atmosphere exists.
Masada College aims to cater for different needs within our community. This inclusive attitude creates a beautiful atmosphere in which each member of the school community feels welcomed, understood and accepted.
The college offers a broad range of extra curricular activities, such as sport and music, and has a consistently high standard of academic excellence. Ivrit is part of the curriculum and other languages are offered as well.
A successful Torah Stream is offered, whilst not impacting the secular studies and extra curricula program.
The Torah Stream classes begin approximately one hour before the regular Masada College classes begin and allow the Torah Stream students an extended tefillah, as well as an extra period of class time. The program is based on a traditional Jewish day school curriculum and focuses on teaching the students the skills to become proficient and self directed Jewish learners. The students learn to read Hebrew in Kindergarten and are immersed in their Hebrew and Jewish Studies from day one. There is a strong focus on learning Chumash skills from Year 2 and Mishna and Gemarah in Years 5 and 6 giving the students the tools to be well educated and proud members of the Jewish community.
The Torah Stream extends from Kindergarten to Year 6 with plans to continue onto High School.
