Lessons in Higher Learning
As a widely respected high school preparing thousands of students for higher learning in Jewish culture, tradition, and religion, the goal of Lubavitch Mesivta of Chicago is more of a calling than a mission. Its curricula is rooted in the Chassidic values of Chabad outreach and engagement, whose pillars are wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.
As such, the purpose of this globally recognized and highly esteemed yeshiva is clear: to be a model of academic excellence and achievement in Talmudic study, inspiring students to give back to the Jewish Community. Graduates advance to rabbinical studies and other roles in Jewish leadership, as well as in general industry.
With such a vital path, the school could not allow outgrown telecom and Internet services to become a stumbling block.

The Results
- Schoolwide fiber‑driven campus connectivity made the academy a pioneer distance teaching model when COVID struck.
