Curriculum

• Hebrew - Beginning with letter recognition for our youngest children, this program leads students through phonetic decoding, reading comprehension & writing. Age appropriate textbooks & workbooks will be completed throughout the year.  We also implement the successful and effective Aleph Champion Program.
• Torah (Bible) & Jewish History - The children are introduced to the characters & stories of the Bible.  They are given an overview of Jewish history starting with creation to the giving of th Torah to modern day Israel.
• Holidays - Each grade examines the holiday from a totally different perspective, making each year's learning a new & exciting holiday adventure.  Hands-on lessons on each Jewish holiday will fill the calendar as we proceed from Rosh Hashanah and the High Holidays through the holiday of Shavuot.  The students will have a deeper understanding of each holiday, its traditions & customs. We will also host holiday celebrations for students & their families.
• Jewish Values & Ethics - Each grade covers a different aspect of our Jewish values & ethics.
• Arts & Crafts - Art projects are incorporated into our curriculum to add to the excitement of the upcoming holidays and Mitzvoth.
• Extra Curricular - We offer a variety of extra curricular activities such as Friday night dinners, and contests.  These events allow our students to experience Judaism in its entirety.  A point system based on in-class & out-of-class participation will allow students to reach different award levels.
