Emanuel School

Emanuel School is the only pluralist and egalitarian K- 12 Jewish School in NSW. We actively promote dialogue, engagement with and respect for diversity in all its forms: in relation to society, the individual and all streams of Judaism. Emanuel advocates for, and promotes human, social, political and economic equality - an inclusive Jewish ethos with an emphasis on Tikkun Olam. Our students have many opportunities to be involved in hands-on social justice and charitable projects, both in the Jewish and wider community. Emanuel is unique in being small enough to provide student-centred, high quality education in a Jewish community environment. At the same time, it is big enough to offer a diverse range of subjects, extra-curricular activities and high-quality facilities. We cultivate a culture of academic excellence, student wellbeing, high expectations and continuous improvement. Our teachers use innovative learning approaches and technologies to foster curious, adaptive and ethical students, who are well-prepared for the workforce of the future. Our objective is to challenge our students to be critical and curious thinkers, who love learning, have a strong sense of community, a love for Israel and are proud of their Jewish heritage. Our approach to Jewish Life strives to be rigorous and relevant. From Jewish history and ethics, to Hebrew language and contemporary Israel, we explore Jewish studies within our pluralist and egalitarian framework. We create a safe, supportive, caring environment where students flourish. Our students are encouraged to be well-rounded and grounded individuals, who are guided to develop their diverse interests and passions so as to make a positive difference to the world. At Emanuel we believe that education encompasses the broad domains of academic, social, emotional sporting, musical and extra-curricular learning, while building a strong sense of responsibility, compassion and justice.
