Curriculum
The lessons are multi-sensory and hands-on, ensuring that the students truly experience what they are being taught. The lessons are structured with discussion-starters, to create a lively, interactive classroom experience. The information truly becomes the student’s own.

J-stem program
We are excited to announce the initiation of a new pilot program: j-stem. The next generation’s method of learning hebrew/judaic studies. The goal of this program is to enhance the students knowledge and interest in the hebrew curriculum. With every subject/topic taught, the children will learn it through the lens of science, technology, engineering & mathematics. The stem method is now recognized as the road to the next generation’s success in education.
We project that teaching judaic curriculum through stem will raise the engagement and interest of our students. This will further our goal of giving children the most innovative and enjoyably jewish experience possible.
