With 90% of the student population living within a 2 mile radius, Hillel has the feel of a “home away from home” for our students and families. 75 years old, we are already a three generation school with profound roots in the Jewish community and the larger educational community of Los Angeles. Teachers quickly begin to feel connected to the community, invited in by its families and warmly taken in by the veteran staff members. Parent ambassadors help guide first year teachers at the school, making them known to the larger parent base and act as another point of school support as they transition into the school culture.
While the school’s primary raison d'etre is its Jewish mission, the school seeks a seamless interplay between modernity and tradition, with excellence in learning, in all realms, as critical and fundamental to its goals and values.
Our staff is also a multicultural one, with faculty coming from diverse backgrounds, personal histories and experiences. The diversity of our faculty is seen as a strength and a positive element to developing a dignified and respectful student body.
Candidates considering applying should consider the following criteria that profile excellence in teaching at Hillel:
Collaborative, engaging, considerate, and passionate creators of student-centered learning experiences.
Strong classroom management who support a culture of dignity and respect.
Experimental as well as skilled in many aspects of the classroom learning culture.
