adraba - əˈdrɑːbə - adverb - Lit. "on the contrary," expressing an idea or position that is the opposite of what is expected or assumed.
Adraba is Ontario’s only Ministry-accredited online Jewish high school open to all Jewish students from secular to Orthodox and everywhere in between. We believe in the development of curious, connected learners — where Jewish culture and values are woven into every course, every discussion, and every relationship between students and teachers.
What Sets Us Apart
Identity-Centred Learning
At Adraba, teens don’t check their Jewish identity at the door. Our year-long courses — from Canadian History to World Religions — are built around the Ontario curriculum and the questions that matter most to Jewish teens: Who are we? Where do we come from? What do we owe the world? Teens learn to see themselves in the material, not alongside it.
Live, Discussion-Based Classes
Learning happens in conversation. Our twice-weekly live Zoom sessions are built around dialogue, not passive listening. Teens engage directly with their teachers and peers across Ontario, developing critical thinking and the confidence to wrestle with complex ideas — a value as old as the tradition we teach from.
Pluralistic and Welcoming
Adraba serves teens from across the denominational spectrum - secular, Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, traditional and "just Jewish." No single lens. No gatekeeping. Every teen's background is treated as an asset, not as obstacle. Pluralism isn't a compromise - it's the point.
