Bnos Rabbeinu High School

Our Story

Bnos Rabbeinu is a Chabad Girls' High School run by Mrs. Tsyrl Turen, renowned for her success as principal and administrator of a Lubavitch girls' high school for almost thirty years. As her many graduates (and their parents) will attest to, Mrs. Turen succeeds in bringing the teachings and philosophies of Torah-true, Chassidishe Yiddishkeit as taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe to a level that becomes an integral part of each girl's life.

Our School

Located in Chicago, Illinois, Bnos Rabbeinu offers a unique and supportive environment where we build on each girl's unique strengths, embracing her for who she is. Our school is equipped to accommodate students from diverse cultural and international backgrounds, with a dormitory on school premises. Our dorm is modern, spacious, and safe, with at least one dorm counselor living in each dorm apartment with the girls.

Accreditation

Bnos Rabbeinu has been certified by the Department of Homeland Security as an institution that can legally accept foreign students. Our school is also accredited by the State of Illinois Board of Education. Our students have been accepted to top institutions, including seminaries and universities, both in Israel and abroad.

Realizing Student Potential

Mrs. Turen, our principal since the high school's inception, relates: "A student once said to me, 'Mrs. Turen, I don't know why you accepted me. I was the dumbest girl in my entire eighth grade.' When I heard that, I made a promise to myself. This girl will graduate knowing she is smart, talented, and successful, someone who will make a difference in the world. And, she did. This is Bnos Rabbeinu."

Learning to Learn

We are renowned for our strong academic program, emphasizing developing thinking skills that can be transposed to other experiences in both academics and life. Our curriculum emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative thinking, enabling each student to reach her highest potential. At Bnos Rabbeinu, we believe that education is a lifelong journey, and we strive to equip our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in all aspects of life.

Thinking Skills

Our students develop thinking skills through various activities, including debate, problem-solving, and critical thinking exercises. We recognize that possibly the jobs our students will have in 10 years do not exist today, so we focus on developing the skills that will enable them to adapt to an ever-changing world.

Our Community

At Bnos Rabbeinu, we foster a trusting, joyous environment among students and between students and staff. We believe that a strong community is essential to a child's development, and we strive to create a sense of belonging among our students.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a unique educational environment that fosters intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth. We strive to empower our students with the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to succeed in all aspects of life, while embracing their individuality and celebrating their unique strengths.
