Associated Talmud Torahs of Chicago (ATT) is the central agency for Orthodox Jewish education in metropolitan Chicago. It was created in 1929 by a group of Orthodox educators who had seceded from the Jewish Education Committee (forerunner of the BJE). ATT was the first organization in Chicago to introduce all-day schools, such as Chicago Jewish Academy, and to initiate busing to and from school. Currently, ATT counts 6,000 students in its affiliated day schools, high schools, and religious schools, plus 1,000 in its summer programs.
