Welcome to Immanuel College!

With nearly 700 pupils in our Preparatory School, Senior School and Sixth Form, Immanuel College provides a Modern Orthodox education for girls and boys aged 4-18.  Focussing on outstanding individual care, strong academic results and a renowned programme of Jewish study which complements our curriculum and activities, we are proud of our academic results, our arts, music, drama and sport, as well as our unforgettable educational trips.  Located in Bushey, Hertfordshire, we benefit from plenty of open leafy space and have good motorway links to the M25 and M1.

Former Chief Rabbi, Lord Immanuel Jakobovits was famous for two apothegms: "Let my people know" and "Let my people grow".  Immanuel College is dedicated to those aims in spirit and in practice.  The future Chief Rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks proposed our mission in 1988 which guides us still:

“The school will aim at the highest standards of academic excellence in both Jewish and secular studies. It will aim at producing students who are thoroughly at home in both contemporary society and the full range of their Jewish heritage. It will unashamedly aim at creating leaders in all spheres of contemporary life, individuals whose sense of Jewish responsibility is deep and broad, encompassing identification with the Jewish people in its totality, with Jewish history in its diversity, and with the state of Israel in its centrality. It will promote the Jewish traditions of principle and tolerance, intellectual depth and social concern, loyalty and generosity, academic rigour and ethical example. It will take as its task the projection of an Orthodox way of life and thought that earns the admiration of others of whatever faith”

Our teachers are support staff are skilled and caring, and highly valued. They focus on helping our children to be the best they can be by providing a clear framework for living and thinking. Relationships between pupils and staff are open, warm and mutually supportive, characteristics which are also found in the wider Immanuel College community of parents and alumni.  You will join a school community full of happy, fulfilled young people who are aspirational, active in the life of the school and committed to their studies.  Relationships between our pupils and staff are open, warm and mutually supportive.

This combination of a high-quality secular education and a rich Jewish experience is at the heart of the College.  We are entering a new and exciting phase of our 30-year development plan - the College opened in 1990 - and will continue to strive for the highest academic standards while maintaining our warmth and caring family.
