Why Hebrew Academy High School?
The Joseph Markovitz High School prides itself on helping each student reach their full potential. Every student is awarded the opportunity to be themselves and feel good about who they are. Our students form a community of bnei and bnot Torah, embodying Torah values that we hope will guide them in making good decisions both today and into their adult years. We offer an individualized schedule for each student that allows them to take courses of interest, at their level, and with unparalleled faculty instruction.

Mevakshim
“Mevakshim” means to “ask for more” — it is a track for our students who are most eager to learn Torah at a high level both inside and outside the classroom. Mevakshim classes are composed of a self-selected group of students, who commit to learning in one of our three learning locations (Miami Beach, Surfside and North Miami Beach) once a week, outside of regular school hours. Mevakshim get other perks as well like a yearly Mevakshim Shabbaton, special Mevakshim catered lunches, and Mevakshim Swag.

Friday Tisch
The “Friday Tisch ” is a way of bringing in the Shabbat ruach early into Hebrew Academy with singing, insightful divrei Torah presented by a rotating cast of teachers and students, and a pre-Shabbos cholent to add the perfect finishing touch to the celebration.

Senior Heritage Experience
The Senior Heritage Trip to Poland and Israel is not just an educational trip — it is a transformational trip. Students learn about the history of the Jews in Europe in the months before embarking on the journey, but nothing can fully prepare them for the eye-opening experiences, the deep bus conversations, and the deepening of their Jewish identity that happens on this life-changing trip.

10th Grade Israel Trip
The 10th Grade Israel Trip is an opportunity for the whole class to get an upgrade — a social upgrade to make new friends in the class, an educational upgrade to better understand the history, ideology, and politics of Zionism and the Jewish State, and a spiritual upgrade to experience what Israel means to Judaism and what Judaism means to Israel.
