America's First Online K-12 Orthodox Jewish School with an Integrated Curriculum Since 5779
OUR STORY
It began with one mother, searching.
​
She had a strong business background, a European education, and a deep love for Torah. But when it came time to find a school for her oldest son, nothing felt right. The Jewish educational options available in Florida left her unsettled. She wanted something more - something that nurtured the soul, developed the intellect, and aligned with the natural rhythm of a child’s growth. Something firmly grounded in Torah, yet responsive to the real needs of gifted, sensitive children.
​
Her search led her to the Waldorf educational model. She was drawn to its beauty, its rhythm, and its respect for childhood development. But it lacked the one essential foundation: Torah. Over four years, she researched educational systems, curriculum design, and developmental psychology - always guided by the vision of a Torah-based education that would be intellectually rigorous, spiritually aligned, and developmentally thoughtful.
When the time came for first grade, she realized: what she was looking for didn’t exist. Not yet.
​
Then COVID-19 changed the world. Like many parents, she turned to homeschooling. With her family’s values centered on Torah, emotional awareness, and a natural lifestyle, home education fit. And it worked - quietly and effectively. Her children thrived, and word began to spread. Calls came in from Miami, California, Utah: “This is what we’ve been looking for,” parents said. “We didn’t know something like this was possible.”
​
What started as one mother’s solution quickly became a collaborative effort. As more families reached out - parents seeking both structure and spiritual integrity - the small initiative evolved. Slowly, it grew into a trusted educational framework for Torah-observant homeschoolers seeking both flexibility and excellence.
​
Today, that early effort has become International Torah Academy (B"H) - a full K–12 Orthodox Jewish private school offering nationwide distance learning, personalized curriculum support, and an in-person homeschool program in Florida.
​
While the program has grown, the heart of it remains unchanged: to provide Torah-observant families with a developmentally respectful, spiritually meaningful, and academically strong education that honors both the child and the parent.
