Kerem School was founded in 1948. Our founders were committed to creating a school that would provide a Torah atmosphere, educate boys and girls to the highest standards, be Zionist, and teach the Hebrew language. Kerem School, today, is a local modern-Orthodox Jewish private school for children aged 3-11, preparing them to achieve places at the best secondary schools in London.
