“Academic Excellence With a Love of Torah”
Our Vision is to provide an exceptional education to Jewish children,
by instilling Torah values, academic excellence, passion for learning, love for community and respect for self and others.
In 1980, for the purpose of developing and fostering a viable Jewish community in Calgary, House of Jacob-Mikveh Israel established Akiva Academy to provide a Jewish day school education to Jewish students at the preschool, elementary and secondary levels of education.
In 2014, thanks to the generosity of the Koschitzky Family Trust and donors across our community we were able to purchase the Haddon Road School and establish our building as the Israel and Golda Koschitzky Torah Centre.
In 2019, through a generous gift from the Halpern family, in memory of their parents David and Tibele Halpern (z”l), the school was renamed the Halpern Akiva Academy.
