- 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. Conversational Hebrew classes will be led by Hebrew speakers to engage the kids in daily usage of the language. We also implement the successful and effective 'Aleph Champ' Program for hebrew reading and writing.
-
Torah (Bible) & Jewish History - The children are introduced to the characters & stories of the Torah. They are given an overview of Jewish history starting with creation to the giving of the 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 - We cover different aspects of our Jewish values & ethics through a wide range of learning medium and experiences, making the lessons learned relevant and practically incorporated in the child's life. Using a curriculum called 'Torahpedia', our older students will go alphabetically through the Aleph Bet and learn a mitzva/Jewish ethic that can help us be a mensch!
