Daniel Bell
Music Kindergarten to Grade 6
Mr. Bell brings 30 years of experience teaching Music for the public school board (TVDSB). His focus is on music theory and supporting our Judaic curriculum with Hebrew and contemporary Israeli music. Music is such an integral part of our Judaic Studies program and contributes to the atmosphere and spirit (ruach) of our school. During holiday time when we can hear our children singing in celebration, the music connects us to our Jewish roots and traditions. Our Music Club brings students together to explore contemporary music and create our own songs that reflect the values and friendship that makes our school so unique. Of course, there’s nothing like Yom Ha’atzmaut, where we dress in Blue and White, sing and dance to Israeli music and celebrate Israel’s birthday

It is with great pride that I work alongside our exceptional staff members, to ensure each of our students flourish both academically and socially in a school that has maintained its unique family style atmosphere since day one. Together we work to build and ensure a strong sense of pride in our Jewish identity, which will carry forward to the communities in which our students choose to live, and strengthen our future by promoting Jewish continuity. To be a part of this institution is to be part of something very special. Here is to another 50 years!
