The school curriculum in-cludes studies in areas such as customs and traditions, holidays, life cycle events, prayer, music, history, theology, Israel, immigration, comparative Judaism, the Holocaust and Jewish ethics. The curriculum is based upon recommendations from the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Over 400 students are enrolled in Religious School, and 180 students attend Hebrew classes that meet Monday or Wednesday afternoons. The Hebrew program focuses on developing Hebrew reading skills and an understanding of the meaning of the prayers. Students are introduced to conversational Hebrew and grammar, which can be studied in depth in the high school electives.
Students enjoy a strong Jewish music program, led by the music teacher.
A Jewish artist is invited to perform for students and their families each year. Each class in grades 1-6 has a Family Shabbat Dinner and service honoring the class. Parents are also invited to participate in special programs related to the curriculum. These activities help to develop a sense of community and enable parents to continue their own educational growth. The 140 students participating in this program enjoy sharing pizza and social time before the formal class session begins.
