Middle School
The Robert Saligman Middle School of Barrack Hebrew Academy offers students the chance to build self-confidence, navigate greater independence, and learn how to learn within a dynamic, nurturing environment.
Our team of middle school educators guides and inspires students to develop the intellectual and emotional skills to build character, advocate for themselves, set priorities, and solve problems. Regularly interacting with our upper schoolers, our younger students have the opportunity to emulate role models who challenge and guide them.
With a strong academic curriculum guided by Jewish values and tradition, students are able to develop the organizational, critical thinking, and study skills that will prepare them for a seamless transition to upper school.

Upper School
In a rigorous dual curriculum that includes both in-depth college preparatory and extensive Jewish studies components, students in the Upper School become independent, curious, open minded thinkers. While mastering the content and skills of each academic discipline, each student develops an aptitude for critical analysis and a strong work ethic. Faced with the challenges of the 21st century, Barrack students become proficient in oral, written, and technological communication to complement their academic and spiritual development.
Through formal and informal interactions with our middle schoolers, our older students have the opportunity to demonstrate responsibility and assume positions of leadership. The academic and personal growth fostered at Barrack helps create well-rounded adults who value education and their Jewish identity. Our graduates translate their Barrack experience into understanding, commitment, and action in the Jewish community, the United States, Israel, and the world.
