Find yourself @TanenbaumCHAT!
TanenbaumCHAT is powered by the generosity of our entire community.
Since the mid-90s, our New Stream program has welcomed students from a wide range of educational backgrounds—many of whom are completely new to Jewish learning.
The program is open to students from public schools and secular independent schools, along with those who have been out of the Jewish day school system since the end of Grade 5.
This tailor-made program encompasses Jewish Studies only and makes up over a quarter of our student cohort. This means that New Stream students discover and engage in Jewish learning together, and are fully integrated with the rest of their cohort for General Studies classes and extracurricular opportunities.
Just like all students at TanenbaumCHAT, New Stream students take four Jewish Studies subjects each year. With the exception of Ivrit (Hebrew language), all of these courses are taught in English. By the time they reach Grade 12, New Stream students are equipped to become mainstreamed into the full range of Jewish Studies electives.
Please note that entry into New Stream is in Grade 9 and applications for Grade 10 are considered on a case-by-case basis.
The New Stream Parent Open House will take place on Tuesday, October 20 at 7:15 PM. Please complete registration for the Parent Open House on the Admissions Portal.
Applications for new student entry in September 2027 are now open.
The application deadline is December 1. Applications received after the deadline will be placed into a waitpool and will only be reviewed in May 2027. A late fee of $500 will apply and we cannot guarantee that space will be available.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at findyourself@tanenbaumchat.org.

Online Applications are now open for the 2027-2028 school year.

Placement tests are a required part of the application process. Each future TanenbaumCHAT student will write tests in English, Math, and Hebrew. Students entering the New Stream program are not required to write the Hebrew test. We use the tests to help us determine class placement and abilities.
You can choose between two placement test dates when completing the application: Sunday, November 8, 2026 or Sunday, December 6, 2026.
We must be in receipt of a completed application prior to writing placement tests.
Once your application is reviewed and all necessary documents have been provided, we will get in touch to schedule an interview. The student and at least one parent or guardian must attend. No preparation is required.
Interviews take place between October and February.
Offers of Acceptance will be sent on Friday, February 26, 2027.
An additional $1,000 confirmation deposit, which will be credited towards tuition, must accompany the acceptance of the offer.
