Core Values

Hebrew Primary School aims to provide an excellent primary school education founded upon Jewish Law and our community’s heritage.

Hebrew Primary School is a Jewish school providing Jewish children in Gibraltar a high-quality education that meets the requirements of the National Curriculum and provides a strong foundation in Kodesh. Alongside a broad and balanced curriculum, we encourage the children to strive for academic excellence. Additionally, HPS seeks to support the spiritual development of the children by imbuing each child with a love of Jewish practice and Torah values.  The development of positive personality traits is integral to our ethos. Regular prayers, learning of Torah and a focus on Middot (positive character traits) are fundamental to our approach.

 Our curriculum focuses on ensuring the children have very strong core skills whilst expanding their understanding of the world they live in. We support our children in becoming ready for life as citizens of Gibraltar. We aim for the children to be proud of their own identity as Jewish children and teach them to be respectful and considerate of those around them. Our school parent body are invested in their children’s Kodesh and Secular education and provide examples of how to contribute to life in Gibraltarian society whilst maintaining age-old traditions and beliefs.

Our Ethos statement:

To create a nurturing environment that fosters intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth, aligned with Torah values and to instil a love and respect for Torah and Mitzvot.

Through rigorous academic excellence in both religious and secular studies, we aim to develop ambassadors of Talmud Torah im derech eretz -individuals who are well equipped to represent the values of Torah and make a positive impact on the wider community. Our warm, welcoming environment encourages mutual respect, kindness and compassion creating strong relationships between parents, staff and children.
