Prozdor

Founded in 1923, Prozdor is the secondary school division of Hebrew College. With an enrollment of nearly 1000 students, Prozdor offers Jewish teens a rigorous and meaningful program of Jewish and Hebraic studies.



Maintaining its longtime commitment to a klal Yisrael teaching environment, Prozdor welcomes students and faculty from a wide spectrum of Jewish beliefs. The curriculum emphasizes the study of Jewish sources through examination of primary texts. The school also offers courses in many modes of Jewish study, including the performing and visual arts. The formal Hebrew language program at Prozdor accommodates students at all levels of competency, from the beginner to the fluent speaker.

Class trips and schoolwide Shabbatonim provide opportunities for nonformal learning experiences outside the classroom. Students are also encouraged to participate in acts of g'milut chesed and to become actively involved in their synagogue and youth groups.

Prozdor offers classes midweek at branches in Nashua (N.H.), Needham, Marblehead, Lexington, Natick, Canton and Worcester, in addition to Tuesday evenings at the main campus. Over 800 students from all over Greater Boston come to the Hebrew College campus for classes on Sunday mornings.

The Prozdor program is completed in the 11th grade with graduation; postgraduate learning opportunities are available in the 12th grade.
