Hillel Academy (Denver, Colo.)

 Organization

Biography

Jews from around Denver founded the Hillel Academy in 1953. It began with two teachers and 27 students in kindergarten and the first grade. The aim was to provide religious and secular education and to give the students pride in Judaism and Americanism. The Academy grew by adding a new grade each year until classes included preschool through eighth grade. Beth Ha Medrosh Hagodol and Beth Joseph Synagogues provided space for the Academy until 1958, when the Academy moved to Holly and Leetsdale. A new facility opened at 450 S. Hudson in 1966. Hillel Academy is part of a network of Orthodox day schools in the United States. There are more than 300 students currently, with students in need receiving scholarships.
