Maintaining the Position of Toronto as a leader in Jewish Education

Half a century ago, UJA Federation’s leadership took audacious steps to strategically invest in growing the Jewish Day School system. To this day, our community continue to benefit from one of the strongest, most diverse and unified Jewish day school systems in the world. Unfortunately, growth and expansion in the Jewish education system is at a standstill. The cost of rising tuition is forcing families out of the system. We will make Jewish Education a key focus of this strategic plan in order that our educational infrastructure continues to strengthen our community into future generations.  Our efforts will be concentrated on the issues of affordability, particularly for middle-income families, and increasing enrollment across the system.
