Kehila Heschel has been in operation for 20+ years. We are a welcoming independent and egalitarian Jewish day school in Hamilton (JK - Grade 5). We are committed to developing the whole child, achieving a balance between intellectual and emotional growth and nurturing the leaders of tomorrow. Small classes nurture curious learners, independent thinkers, and achievement. An innovative integrated curriculum promotes learning and teaching in a holistic way and is project-based reflecting the real world, which is interactive: children learn by doing. A Tri-lingual approach in English, Hebrew and French enhances cognitive development. We encourage personal responsibility and ethical behaviour by helping those in need, supporting human rights, and treating everyone with kindness and respect.
Westdale is a residential neighbourhood in Hamilton. It is centred in the Westdale Village shopping district and located near McMaster University. Westdale was founded in the 1920s (in conjunction with McMaster's 1930 founding in Hamilton) as one of Canada's first planned communities. Although urban development has reduced the isolation once integral for Westdale's modelled environment, Westdale Village persists as an established shopping destination for West Hamilton residents. In addition to many small businesses, Westdale is home to many stores, parks and community services.
