Testimonials
Hear directly from our alumni and the parents of our graduates.
Emily P., York University, MBA
LHA (formerly LCHDS) shaped my Jewish identity, instilling in me a deep understanding of Jewish history and a profound connection to our people. The education I received remains a core part of who I am to this day. As I move through my graduate education and career, often as the only Jew in the room, this rock-solid background continues to provide me with both comfort and strength.
Annabelle P., Ivey Business and Engineering
LHA (formerly LCHDS) provided the foundation of my Jewish identity, which has had a tremendous impact on my life. Learning about my heritage enabled me to be confident in who I am and further my pride in my Judaism. The small classes at LHA allowed me to reach my highest potential and impacted my future choices and endeavours.
Elyse F., Ivey Business, CPA
Despite its small size, LHA (formerly LCHDS) had such a powerful influence on me. It provided me with a strong Jewish identity and deep connection and love for Israel. Because of my Jewish education, it is very important for me to preserve our Jewish culture, values and traditions to ensure Jewish continuity. I have so many fond memories from LHA, most notably the friends I made and the bond we shared as members of the Jewish community. I am forever grateful to LHA for my Jewish education.
David L., U of T, Medical Doctor
I am extremely grateful for my formative education at the London Hebrew Academy (formerly London Community Hebrew Day School). I met my best friends, gained pride and strength in my Jewish identity, and was part of a warm, generous and loving community. I credit LHA for laying the foundation for a meaningful and rewarding spiritual home and work life.
Beverley Zaifman, Alumni Parent
All four of our children attended LHA (formerly LCHDS) from Kindergarten to Grade 8. The smaller classes gave them the opportunity to question more often, while the smaller school environment also afforded them interactions with children both older and younger. LHA can be the small and supportive environment not found in a large public school. Academics are always important and LHA offers this in a Jewish environment.
Sari Shatil, Alumni Parent
LHA (formerly LCHDS) helped our children develop strong Jewish values, excitement for Jewish traditions and holidays, created a sense of family amongst the students and a connection to the larger Jewish community. The quality of education at LHA allowed for learning support, developing multiple language skills, and creativity. I highly recommend LHA to parents seeking a positive, family and community environment, where your children will be supported, learn and develop academic and social skills, while identifying and building on their own strengths.
Shayna Zelcer, Alumni Parent
As newcomers to London, LHA (formerly LCHDS) became our family. Instilling a strong Jewish identity and love for Israel are at the core of our family values and we could not have achieved this without the day school. I am proud of the strong Jewish connection all four of my children have and how it guides them to this day.
