UJA Federation's Affiliated Jewish Day Schools
Across the GTA, 16 Jewish day schools are currently affiliated with UJA Federation of Greater Toronto. The schools span the religious, pedagogical and cultural spectrum of our community.
For 100 years, Jewish day schools have played a key role in shaping our community. Research has proven that Jewish day school graduates are:
- more likely to lead engaged Jewish lives;
- have strong connections to Israel; and
- take on leadership roles within the Jewish community.
Day school students represent over half of our Jewish summer camp counsellors, Israel advocates on campus, Birthright Israel madrichim, and synagogue youth leaders. Our entire community benefits from Toronto’s strong system of Jewish education.

Financial Assistance Programs
UJA Federation firmly believes that no Jewish child or teen should be cut off from essential Jewish experiences—including day school—due to cost.
Created by a group of visionary philanthropic leaders, UJA’s new Generations Trust Scholarship offers day school tuition relief for many families who would otherwise not qualify for assistance.

Over 50 years ago, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto became one of the first Federations to invest in ensuring the quality, accessibility, and sustainability of Jewish day schools. This investment has paid off, as Toronto’s Jewish community has one of the strongest, most robust, diverse, and unified day school systems in the world.
The study of the Tanach increases our student’s connection with the Jewish people, their love of the Land of Israel, their love of text, and their love of Torah. What better way to encourage students to study and learn the Tanach than by involving them in the Bible Contest.
