Toronto’s Premier Community Jewish High School

"The school has had a profound influence on our family. The campaign permits us to ensure others can benefit similarly. We are forever grateful for the school’s ability to reinforce Jewish values."

The Belzberg Family

At TanenbaumCHAT, we provide more than an exceptional academic education. We equip students with the skills, knowledge and experiences to lead meaningful lives rooted in a strong Jewish identity.

We are committed to excellence and significance in our educational approach. We are a school animated by a set of transcendent beliefs – that school is about more than grades, it’s about learning; that we achieve our mission when we embrace the Jewish character of our mandate; and that we fulfill our potential as human beings when we reach beyond ourselves and contribute to the world around us.

As a Jewish institution, TanenbaumCHAT creates a context where students can explore their own relationship with God in a respectful environment, enrich their understanding of Jewish Tradition and its relevance to modern life, foster a commitment to Zionism, deepen their sense of responsibility towards the Jewish people and the State of Israel, and discover their unique contribution to the world around them.

The mission of TanenbaumCHAT is to challenge, support, and prepare students to live lives of high moral character, intellectual curiosity, Jewish commitment, and civic duty.

Our Core Values

Curiosity

We develop students’ intellectual curiosity and thereby prepare them for the rigours of university life and beyond.

Character

We educate teens to act on a moral vision that is grounded in the belief that every individual is created in the image of God.

Connection

We deepen students’ connection to their Jewish roots by showing them how Judaism is timeless, meaningful, and relevant to their lives.

Community

We help students develop a sense of responsibility to Israel and the global Jewish people in all its diversity.

Contribution

We teach that achievement without contribution lacks significance and that life becomes more meaningful when we reach beyond ourselves.
