Thank you to our wonderful teachers who have materials ready to go each Sunday for our students to enjoy, for taking the time to have individual video chats with the kids, and for leading group circle time and songs with joy and enthusiasm! The transition was as painless as it could be and we are so proud that it was up and running in less than a day! Thank you to the parents for all of your hard work on tech support and teacher assistance when needed!
We look forward to having you back! (Enjoy your Passover break!)

Welcome to HPS!

The Best Education
Hebrew Preparatory School's philosophy is that a school can provide both the best secular and Jewish education. The quality of one does not have to be sacrificed for the other.

Non-Judgemental and All Inclusive
HPS believes in welcoming and including all Jews regardless of observance or affiliation. Our philosophy is truly non-judgmental and this is reflected in our student body which is composed of the entire gamut of American and International Jews from the affiliated to non-affiliated.

What makes HPS exceptional?

HPS has a high teacher to student ratio and passionate teachers to provide the best care possible!
We know each child develops differently, so we offer various types of learning to benefit every child.
HPS uses innovative, research based methods to set your child up for success. Research shows that homework and testing are not useful for kids under 8 years old (at least).
HPS keeps you in the loop and sends pictures throughout the day to include you in the fun.
Play-based education is key!
If 3rd grade and under need more play time, we give it.

We provide the best in both secular and Jewish education, one does not need to be sacrificed for the other.
Hebrew immersion by native speakers is incorporated into the preschool with Hebrew and Spanish in the upper grades.
NeuroNet and Imagination Playground supplement our curriculum to create automatic knowledge and challenge the kids' creativity.
Mixed age play allows the kids to explore being a leader and learning from others.
HPS feels like home!

.אנו מאמינים שחינוך הינו תהליך מתמשך אין סופי

.תהליך שמוטמע בעיקר באמצעות דוגמא אישית
.תוך מתן הזדמנות תמידית להתחיל מחדש ולהגיע למצויינות

.מצוינות היא שילוב של חינוך כללי ערכי וחינוך יהודי מסורתי
.התלמידים כמו המורים מגיעים מרקעים שונים ומגוונים, מכל שכבות האוכלוסיה
.קבלת האחר והכלה הם מעמודי התווך של מוסדנו

I just wanted to tell you how touched I was by C. teachers' commitment to their students. I came by this week to pick up C. and Irina told me she changed C.'s pants because he got dirty while playing outside. I am SO GRATEFUL the teachers did this and told me. A fear of mine has been that C. would get wet or dirty/uncomfortable while playing outside and then he'd have to nap while wet and dirty. I am so relieved his teachers are taking good care of him and making sure he is clean and comfortable. Thank you so much for working so hard to find these teachers! They are gems!
THANK YOU!

Thank you HPS for everything you have done for our family. We were tempted to leave Austin for a bigger Jewish community. But, even after visiting several places and seeing the schools, we are committed to staying here. The buildings might be bigger (not for long), and the community might be larger, but the schools were ultimately not better. It came down to, if we are going to move the school has to be better.
Well...there is nothing better than HPS and the director, Rochel Levertov!

I just wanted to give a shot out to HPS [teachers] and staff. Most of what [my son] is seeing so far in [public] school he had already seen at HPS. As an ESL Certified Teacher from K-12 I can tell you that the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills or TEKS or the state standards for Texas public schools ) seen at HPS are perfectly aligned with the tested subjects.
Proof of this , [my son] is getting straight A’s in his new ISD school. I would never have moved him out of HPS if we still lived in Austin. Needless to say [I can stress] the importance of Jewish education and how he misses it.
Thank you HPS teachers and most of all thank you Morah Rochel.
