Torah, made relevant

A WHHS class

The Ikarim Program

Ikarim ensures every student graduates with a true core of Jewish knowledge — whatever background they arrive with — woven through a dual curriculum where Judaic learning anchors the day.

WHHS students at a chesed activity

Chesed, in practice

Mitzvot and middot aren't electives here — they're embedded in the core curriculum. From food and toy drives to volunteer days and a stated culture of kindness, students learn that being known also means looking after one another.

Most graduates begin in Israel

About 60% of WHHS graduates defer college for a year of study or service in Israel — often for credit. Israel and Zionism are woven through the curriculum: Ivrit, advocacy seminars, AIPAC conferences, and activism from day one.
