Such activities include distributing food to the homeless, weekly tzedakah, calling sick children, and developing relationships with elders at Chai House. Technology Technology studies are part of the daily experience at Yavneh. Children learn research, word processing, and electronic communication skills, as well as specific applications. In the primary grades, students use the computer to reinforce basic skills and to attain a basic comfort level with the computer. In the upper grades, students continue to add to their ability to use the computer as a tool by learning multimedia applications and using the Internet for research.
Students illustrate written reports with online or student-designed graphics, maps, and charts.
Music Our music program teaches students basic music skills and an appreciation of Jewish music as a connecting experience for Jews worldwide. In the lower grades, musical skills are developed through listening and singing experiences. They learn the principles of rhythm, melody, sight-reading, and musical notation. In the upper grades, students may join the Yavneh choir.
