Mission/Philosophy
The mission of Mesorah High School for Girls is to cultivate a Torah-centered community of responsibility and friendship and, through a framework of academic excellence, instill in each student a love of learning and a deep understanding of her unique role as a Jewish woman.
Goals
Torah-centered: At Mesorah, we strive to demonstrate the beauty of the Torah world view by nurturing, challenging, and developing each student’s spiritual personality. Every facet of our educational program serves the ultimate goal of fostering a lifelong commitment to Torah living.
Academic Excellence: Mesorah’s dual-curricular focus provides excellent Judaic and college-preparatory programs. Our intensive Judaic program enlightens each student in Chumash, Navi, Halacha, Jewish history, Mussar, Haskafa and Hebrew language. Our comprehensive college-preparatory program firmly grounds each student in all major disciplines: mathematics, the sciences, history and language arts as well as government, economics, engineering, coding, drama, fine arts, music, and physical education.
Our four-year course of study nourishes each student’s intellectual curiosity and motivates her to engage in independent scholarship both in high school and beyond.
Responsibility and Friendship: School life at Mesorah is unique in that all students feel a strong sense of unity and responsibility toward each other. Our hallways are infused with the spirit of camaraderie, sensitivity, and respect.
Beyond the four walls of the classroom, Mesorah considers it essential that our students participate in community service activities in the Dallas area. Students help educate special-needs children; volunteer for JFS, the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, area Shuls, and other community organizations; and assist families in need. In this living classroom, our young women realize their kinship with all Jews and develop the lifelong habit of serving their community.
Unique Role as a Jewish Woman: Our tradition teaches us that when you educate a girl, you educate a generation. Mesorah provides an inspirational experience and environment in which a student spends her formative years developing a distinctive integrated personality that will take her throughout life. By establishing a caring atmosphere of individual attention from outstanding role models, we tap into the limitless potential of each young woman.
