Kesser Torah College

Kesser Torah College offers a unique education in Sydney: an authentic Torah education together with a rigorous General Studies program. However, our point of difference is further reinforced by the Torah values that permeate every aspect of the school day – and beyond. This means that our students are taught to see the very complex world of decision-making through the prism of a very clearly defined Torah lens. The journey from adolescence to adulthood is very often plagued by many competing priorities and influences. While our students are no strangers to the modern, sophisticated environment challenging them daily by growing up in the vibrant and diverse society that is Sydney, Australia, Kesser Torah College steers and guides them through these competing tensions by providing a consistency of meaning and purpose: a Torah-true compass that offers them a roadmap, not only for their childhood and teenage years, but for life.

Our students are fortunate to be taught by exceptional educators, dedicated, not only to the subjects they teach, but to the education of the “whole child”. A real teacher is one who can teach his/her students to teach themselves. We believe that each student should be nurtured to achieve his or her own personal best. Moreover, the function of any great school is to educate beyond the classroom, and at KTC, the many extra-curricular, informal and experiential programs do just that.

As it so aptly says in Kidushin 40B Study is important because it leads to action. We look forward to welcoming you as partners in this exciting journey and trust that you too will be inspired to grow with us, as together we teach our children to love and live their Judaism – daily.

Kesser Torah College Early Learning is a place filled with love and warmth where every child is seen and celebrated as an individual. We nurture each child’s sense of curiosity and wonder in order to create a lifelong love of learning. In keeping with our Chabad philosophy, we instil in all children the belief that they can make a positive impact on the world in their own unique way, not just when they become adults, but even now as young children.

At KTC every student is valued. The aim is for every student, no matter what background or academic ability, to be respected, loved and given the opportunity to excel at their own level. Inclusivity comes as part and parcel of the whole KTC approach. From academics in the classroom, to informal education outside the classroom, community service, interschool sport, debating teams, biannual productions, school camps, Shabbatonim, and the recently added Israel trip for Years 9 and 10. Our aim is to have students feel safe, confident and able to achieve in all the challenges faced in school.

Enter the Boys’ High School at Kesser Torah and you will find yourself surrounded by young men who are happy, energetic and tremendously proud of their Judaism. This is a unique group of boys who are constantly being nurtured academically, spiritually and physically. These young men find themselves in an environment of togetherness which is reflected in the way that all students – seniors and juniors alike – can be found playing a game of soccer or touch footy together during lunchtime or recess.
