Mission Statement
The mission of New England Hebrew Academy (NEHA) is to provide and promote the highest quality Judaic and secular education to a diverse community of Jewish children. Our aim is to cultivate students to reach personal excellence, and to be responsible members of American - Jewish society.

Educational Philosophy
The New England Hebrew Academy was founded on the principles of Chabad philosophy, which is a way of life that integrates the love of G‑d, intellectual knowledge and understanding of the Torah, and the appreciation of the uniqueness of every individual.
Our administration and staff implement this philosophy in all areas of Judaic and general studies while fostering a supportive environment for all our students.
