Over the past five years, RHA has been preparing to
become part of a global community of the world's best
schools. It has taken countless hours of work by staff and
faculty; deep involvement by the Board, RHA parents
and students; and finally, four intensive days of rigorous
assessment by a national CAIS evaluation committee,
who looked at us inside out.
CAIS, briefly said, is the gold standard of academic
excellence. When a school is accredited by CAIS, it
means it has reached the pinnacle of excellence. It
means its curriculum is on a par with the best in the
world. It means its teaching is unparalleled.
According to CAIS, Robbins Hebrew Academy is
that school.
Here is just a sample of the CAIS evaluation report:
"When we first met Claire Sumerlus, Head of School
at Robbins Hebrew Academy, she told us that she was
going to introduce us to a school that was different from

innovation and committed to building the character
of each and every one of its students. She went on to
explain that its pedagogy, which is based on decades
of research, inspires students to explore, discover,
debate and imagine which are, of course, the very skills
researchers have identified as essential for becoming
" When a school is accredited by
CAIS, it means it has reached
the pinnacle of excellence.
It means its curriculum is on a
par with the best in the world.
It means its teaching
is unparalleled."
CAIS Comes to RHA
Thanks to rigorous and innovative academics, along with a robust program that develops well-rounded citizens,
RHA becomes Toronto's first Jewish day school to be accredited by Canadian Accredited Independent Schools
(CAIS). Now RHA is part of an elite group of Canada's top private schools.
