The oldest Hebrew Day School in Canada, Talmud Torah offers an integrated program of Judaic and Secular studies in a Hebrew-English bilingual setting focused on excellence in learning and achievement. Talmud Torah provides challenging opportunities for each child to learn and grow as an individual in a safe, respectful environment. An emphasis is placed on Jewish culture and religion, as well as responsible citizenship. A cooperative partnership between staff, students and parents is valued and necessary in achieving high levels of student success.

Talmud Torah School provides Hebrew-English bilingual programming for students from kindergarten to Grade 6 in a Jewish learning environment. Parents, organized through the Talmud Torah Society/ School Council, are very actively involved in the life and fabric of the school. On November 25, 1997, Talmud Torah began full instruction in its new facility in the west end of Edmonton (south Callingwood). Parents and staff continue to work together in ongoing program development to ensure the combined program of Hebrew and English meets the needs of the students and parents. This community of learners will continue to review its mission/vision statement as an important part of the process in achieving excellence.

In 1975, the Talmud Torah Society formed a partnership with Edmonton Public Schools. At this time the Province of Alberta's Department of Education was exploring means by which private schools could become associated with existing public school boards. In September, 1975, an understanding was reached between the president of Talmud Torah Board of Directors and the superintendent of the Edmonton Public School Board, whereby the public board would fund Talmud Torah’s secular component. This arrangement continues to the present time.
