The mission of NAACHHS is to be the umbrella organization for the field of community-based supplementary Jewish secondary education. NAACHHS will advocate for member schools while creating, supporting, exchanging and disseminating innovative programs, curricula, best practices and resources to enrich Jewish education in community Hebrew high schools across North America. NAACHHS provides supplemental community-based Hebrew high schools with a much-needed forum for communication, information sharing and mutual support to improve the quality of the educational experience offered to Jewish high school students. The network's goals include:
- Advocacy in the Jewish education community for supplementary post-b'nai mitzvah education that is pluralistic and community supported.
- Development and maintenance of a support network for new and developing schools, with mentoring for new principals provided by those who are more experienced.
- Creation of a central address for research, resources and information on Jewish teen education.
- Identification and pursuit of funding opportunities for the field.
- More efficient tracking of Jewish high school students and better, longer-term links between high school and college.
