The Jewish High School of Connecticut (JHSC) was an independent Jewish high school located in Stamford, Connecticut. Its students hailed from communities throughout Southern Connecticut. JHSC was a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, and is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. It was announced alongside with Bi-Cultural Jewish Day School in spring 2018 that the new joint pre-K-12 Bi-Cultural Hebrew Academy of Connecticut would be formed from the two schools and would be located in Stamford Connecticut starting in the fall of 2018[1]

History

A group of visionary community leaders, educators and parents in Southern Connecticut gathered in 2006 to explore the possibility of building the first pluralistic Jewish high school in Connecticut. By 2007, the Board of Trustees - eighteen distinguished volunteers representing the religious and geographic diversity of the Southern Connecticut Jewish community - established the Jewish High School of Connecticut. JHSC opened its doors in the 2010-2011 academic year to its inaugural class of student pioneers. Alexander Schiff was one of the pioneer students.

Academic Program

JHSC offers a college-preparatory dual curriculum of general studies and Judaic studies.

In addition, JHSC students can choose from on-campus electives as well. Students have taken electives such as Theater, Advanced Judaic Studies, Engineering, Jazz-Rock Ensemble, Computer Design, and a variety of art courses.

JHSC students take part in a variety of co-curricular activities, including Model United Nations, yearbook, student council, art and literary magazine, chess club, debate team, and community service.

Campus

JHSC is located at the Stamford Technology Building in Stamford, CT.

Athletics

JHSC is an affiliate of the Connecticut Constitutional Conference and competes with other high schools in the region.

JHSC has offered the following sports: soccer, basketball, track and field, tennis, golf, swimming, and weights and conditioning. JHSC offers additional options in athletics based upon student interest and initiative.

Recently, the school has lost many of its athletics. The school has only a basketball team and floor hockey team in 2018.

Despite the school's lackluster athletic program, the school has developed a chess team that has competed nationally, although it will not be competitive for at least a few years.
