We are selective in staffing our school. We seek inspiring and nurturing educators who have a passion for learning. These highly qualified professionals are as competent in understanding the developmental stages of their students as they are in teaching content. At Heschel, the curriculum is regularly reviewed by the administration and faculty to incorporate current educational research and technology. Valuing each member of the group, and appreciating the special attributes of peers are intrinsic goals of our program.
Research indicates that the process of learning is as important as the product.
Therefore, we provide an individualized, experiential program that emphasizes the development of thinking, problem solving and creative self-expression which reaches far beyond the rote mastery of basic skills. One of the highest ideals of our school is educating children to understand and respect the diversity that exists in observing the Jewish religion in our community and in Israel. Students study the philosophy and practices of the various traditions within Judaism. We cultivate an understanding and respect for other peoples and their cultures while embracing our own unique heritage. We strive to create a highly motivational learning environment in which each individual affirms the covenant made by our ancestors at Sinai.
