Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy (EKHLA) is a K–8, tuition-free public charter school dedicated to academic excellence and character development. We offer a rich, innovative curriculum
led by passionate educators who provide extraordinary student support. At EKHLA, each teacher
truly knows their students as individuals and is committed to educating the
whole child—cultivating graciousness, kindness, and tolerance in a nurturing learning environment.
Our Goal EKHLA’s goal is to inspire students to understand who they are, discover what they aspire to become, and develop the confidence to achieve their dreams. We strive to nurture curious,
lifelong learners who carry a strong sense of responsibility to the world around them.
Our Mission EKHLA’s mission is to prepare confident students through high academic and
behavioral standards, grounded in Hebrew language and Israeli culture.
Each year, Open Enrollment for the upcoming school year takes place during the

My son started at EKHLA for kindergarten during the COVID pandemic. The teachers quickly adapted to engaging meaningfully with the students despite remote connections. Over the years, my now fifth grader has developed a strong group of friends who challenge each other academically. He has also enjoyed the sports programs offered at EKHLA. EKHLA fosters an environment of inclusion and respects diversity. With such a diverse group of children, it is inspirational how they all come together to support each other. Community is everything, and EKHLA is the best!
My child was homeschooled for four years before attending EKHLA. He has supportive classmates and teachers. They push him academically in a way I wouldn't have. I'm so proud of him and the progress he has made. Thank you!
What makes EKHLA such a special place for my two daughters is the winning combination of an excellent and professional teaching staff alongside an atmosphere that encourages a positive and enriching school experience.
We see daily the dedication of the educators who provide our daughters with a deep and comprehensive knowledge base. The teachers' professionalism allows each of my girls to excel and develop her full potential on an academic level.
Despite the high standards, the school maintains a friendly and child-appropriate feel, making the learning journey enjoyable and inspiring.
