Shaping stronger futures.
One educator at a time.

For 7+ hours a day, our children are not our own.
They are in the hands of their teachers. Their rebbeim. Their moros.
In those hours, more than academics are at stake. Our educators are shaping how our children think, how they see themselves, and how they engage with their world.

But who is guiding them?
Exceptional education begins with exceptional educators.
Yet with limited networking and training opportunities, Toronto’s educators need more resources to help our children thrive.

Founded in 2008, The Toronto Teachers’ Centre was conceptualized as a hub for educational progress.

Initially, our focus was on visual aid creation. But as the needs of Toronto’s children evolved, so did we. Beyond cutting-edge materials, we knew that cutting-edge methodologies could transform their school experience.
So our vision expanded.

Today, The Toronto Teachers’ Centre is a nationally recognized force for educational development.

Drawing on the resources of the global Torah Umesorah network, we deliver innovative training, professional development programs, and crucial government funding – partnering with schools and educators to unlock the potential of each child in Toronto’s Torah community.

OUR IMPACT

BETTER TEACHERS

Since 2018, we’ve trained 500+ new and veteran teachers in student-centered lesson planning, empathy-driven classroom management, and more – empowering them to connect with every child.

Better classrooms

Our engaging wall art, easy-to-read handouts, memorable Haggadahs, and countless other learning aids bring learning to life in 400+ classrooms every year, making lessons unforgettable.

Better funding

In a single five-year period, we’ve facilitated nearly $1 million in government grants for Toronto’s Torah schools.

Better curricula

Across multiple schools, we’ve introduced and implemented essential programs, including:

a suite of expert-crafted classroom curricula designed to meet the needs of students today
