Jroots Teachers

About the Role

JRoots is a unique Hebrew Supplementary School supporting the educational, cultural and spiritual needs of the Jewish secular community. We offer innovative Hebrew and Judaic programming for children aged 3‑14, spanning JK to grade 7. The school operates from September to May, teaching non‑Hebrew speakers on Sunday mornings and/or Tuesday evenings at two convenient GTA locations:
Thornhill @ the Schwartz/Reisman Centre and mid‑town @ the Prosserman JCC.
