Language
Our students become familiar with the Hebrew alphabet, learn to read, and become accustomed to Hebrew vocabulary. This subject also familiarizes our students with the Siddur- Prayer Book, allowing them to feel comfortable in the Synagogue.
Torah
This subject offers an overview of the weekly Torah portion, its highlights and practical lessons relevant to our day and age.
History
We take our students from Creation to modern-day Israel including the Exodus from Egypt, The Ten Commandments and the era of the Prophets and Kings. We also focus on Jewish life in medieval times, the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust and Jewish Heroes of Yesteryear.
Holidays
Lessons on each Jewish holiday with hands-on demonstrations fill the calendar as we proceed from Rosh Hashana through the holiday of Shavuot.
Jewish Values
Perhaps the most important component of a Jewish education is the understanding that our religion is based on a G-d given set of values and ethics. Our students learn the Mitzvot and gain an appreciation for their relevance in the 21st century.
Arts and Crafts
Our Arts & Crafts director is an expert at creating projects that have Jewish holiday and mitzvah themes and will add an elegant taste of Jewish decor to your home.
Israel
Our students understand that Israel is not just another country but our own homeland. A land that is truly the “Promised Land”, both spiritually and physically.
Extra Curricular
The Academy offers a variety of extra curricular programming such as guest speakers, Shabbatons, field trips, contests and Rosh Chodesh assemblies. These activities add a wonderful dimension to our school curricular.
