The school was established in 1979 by a group of dedicated parents and community leaders.
As enrollment increased, the Solomon Schechter facility grew from the original main building of six classrooms to the addition of six classrooms in modern, modular units. The modular units were attached to the main building in 1998. In the spring of 1999, a new building extension was completed. The new, expanded Solomon Schechter building now boasts 16 classrooms, a dedicated Library, Technology Lab, Science Lab, Nurse’s Office, Music & Art Room, Faculty Lounge, Office Suite, Kitchen, and a beautiful Gym/All-purpose Room. In September 2000, the new Solomon Schechter Middle School was launched, and in June 2003, we celebrated our first eighth-grade graduation. In September 2006, we opened our first Nursery class for 3-year-old students, and in September, 2014, Solomon Schechter added a Toddler program. The Early Childhood Wing and renovated Science Lab were dedicated during the 2012-2013 school year. A Media Center, including a state-of-the-art technology lab and a musical stage in an acoustically engineered environment were completed in 2013.The SSDS Summer enrichment Camp Program opened in the summer of 2015. In June of 2018, the school was renamed The Hebrew Academy in order to reflect a broader demographic population.
