History

The first formal Jewish education in Manitoba can be traced to the establishment of the Talmud Torah in Winnipeg, although it wouldn't be until 1907 that Israel Isaac Kahanovitch established a physical building for the school at Dufferin and Aikins. The school later become the Winnipeg Hebrew School. Eight years later in 1914 the Aberdeen School (later remained the I.L. Peretz School) was established as a secular Yiddish language school. Within its first year, 92 students were enrolled, and the school relocates to a building on McKenzie Street. Lastly, in 1959 the Ramah Hebrew School, opened at Lanark and Grant in River Heights to accommodate a growing Jewish population in Winnipeg's south end. The Gray Academy was founded in 1997 as a result of the amalgamation of these three schools. The modern school is located in the Asper Jewish Community Campus built by Israel Asper.
