Education Programs

Kesser Torah College incorporated in December 2003 as a Jewish orthodox school with a Chabad ethos. It has grown to accommodate over 400 students catering to over 250 families. With a staff complement of 90 professionals, the school is committed to enhancing academic and extra-curricular learning for each child as an individual, and to providing the highest quality Jewish and secular education, as well as pastoral care. The teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe continue to inspire the educational philosophy of Kesser Torah College.

The college is co-educational to Year 1. Boys and girls are taught separately from Years 2-6 in the primary school and in the high school.
