Portland Jewish Academy is a private school in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.[1] The school was established in 1986 with the merging of Hillel Academy, founded in 1961, and the Jewish Education Association, which had operated a Hebrew school program since 1934.[2]
The Hillel Academy had been founded in 1961 with about 26 students in Northwest Portland by a group of Jewish parents. In 1995 a middle school opened with six students. There were 185 total students in 2012. The school shares a campus with the Mittleman Jewish Community Center that includes a swimming pool, indoor sportsplex, gymnasium, outdoor playing fields, and a kosher café.[3]
