Mission

The Jewish Community High School of the Bay (JCHS) is a co-educational day school providing a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum in general and Judaic studies. We are committed to an extensive enrichment program, including the arts and athletics. JCHS serves the San Francisco Bay Community and is open to all Jewish students regardless of prior Jewish educational experience. JCHS is guided by the rhythms of the Jewish calendar, culture and tradition and by an inextricable link to the land of Israel. We aim to provide students with the education necessary to gain acceptance into the finest universities and to engage in life-long Jewish learning. Our wish is to enable graduates to employ the skills taught within our walls to their lives within both the Jewish and the wider community.

Curriculum

Our goal is to provide an excellent academic program that is competitive with the finest schools in the Bay Area. In a typical school year, JCHS students take a rigorous academic load that exceeds the University of California requirements and offers Advanced Placement opportunities. Courses are taught in a rotating, 75-minute block format, giving students the depth and intensive learning experience associated with college life. Writing courses are emphasized across every facet of the curriculum, including Talmud (Rabbinic literature, law, philosophy, theology, ethics, history; texts in Hebrew, early medieval Aramaic and English) and Tanach (Bible, commentary, reading, interpretation; texts in original biblical Hebrew and English). The small size of classes creates an environment where individual attention and interaction between our students and teachers occur regularly.
