Our Team

The people who make it happen.

Teaching is not a job at Chabad Gaon Academy — it is a calling. Every member of our faculty and staff has made a deliberate choice to invest their expertise, their energy, and their time into the students in front of them. They are scholars, mentors, and builders of the next generation of Jewish leaders — people who believe that a young person's potential is not determined by where they've been, but by where they're going.

Our teachers don't clock out. They show up, they push, and they hold every student to a standard that says: you are capable of more than you think. That belief is the foundation of everything we do at Chabad Gaon Academy.
