Our curriculum for each grade has been carefully designed to engage children at their age-appropriate level. Teaching methods vary to meet the needs of all children, with the understanding that each child is an individual with a unique set of strengths and interests.

​

• Our K through 3rd grade students are introduced to the holidays, Torah, and Jewish ethics through a hands-on approach to learning. They experience Shabbat and the holidays through experiential learning and explore Torah stories through differentiated instruction.

• Our 4th to 7th grade students have the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of experiences, which have included courses on Judaism and social action, Jewish food, current events through a Jewish lens, bibliodrama, music and art. They also learn about middot (values/ethics), holidays, Jewish history, God, Torah and Israel at an age appropriate level.

 

Through our Jewish studies Program, students are able to:

• Participate in innovative project-based classrooms

• Experience the richness of the Jewish year as a community

• Learn in-depth about holidays while not repeating material every year

• Celebrate learning at our creative community days

• Pray and learn weekly with our rabbi and educators

• Explore the richness of the Torah at age-appropriate levels

• Learn about the Jewish people and traditions through art, music, drama, and technology

• Participate in the Jewish responsibility to care for others through giving tzedakah and doing Tikkun Olam mitzvah projects

 

Our Hebrew Program

• Students are organized by skill level. This enables students to learn and progress at a pace and in an environment that is most conducive to their specific learning needs.

• The goal of the program is not simply to teach decoding skills but to ensure that students understand the meanings of the prayers.

• Resources are made available to parents that can enable them to help their child practice and support the learning that happens on Sundays.

• Our Hebrew Lab is designed to help students who need extra, one-on-one instruction.

• Parents hire a Hebrew tutor about a year prior to the bar/bat mitzvah date. The tutor helps the student learn his or her Torah and Haftorah portion.
