The school decicates itself to encouraging a lifetime of Jewish study and observance, participation and responsibility to K'lal Yisrael, the community of Israel. The program strives to instill Jewish values and ethical behavior in response to the challenges of the secular world. We also believe that every Jewish teenager, without exception, has the right to an appropriate Jewish education. Our special needs and inclusion program has been successful in meeting those needs.     HSJS welcomes 8th to 12th grade students from the Western New York area. This includes students affiliated with synagogues and havurot, as well as those not affiliated witha particular Jewish institution or organization. The students embrace a wide range of personal approaches to Judaism and have the unique opportunity to meet Jews of various affiliations and to learn about, experience and understand the borad spectrum of Jewish practice. HSJS staff members are rabbies, cantors, educators, and other Jewish role models in the community. They represent all branches of Judaism and are known for their commitment to and respect for Judaism.
