Sholem Aleichem College is a Jewish Preschool and Primary school that aims to foster a love of Jewish culture, history, traditions and festivities in a secular educational setting.

We believe in the education of the whole person so that our children can be knowledgeable and creative, socially, spiritually and ethically aware, and contributing and fulfilled members of the local, Jewish and global community. The school aims to develop in our children, as the basis of lifelong learning: excellence in the skills of numeracy, literacy, oracy and social adaptability. We do this by providing a wide range of educational experiences that acknowledge individual differences in a caring coeducational environment.
