Elementary School (Kindergarten – 5th Grade)

 

The Elementary School curriculum builds upon the experience of our students in the Early Childhood Center (ECC) in developing their linguistic skills of reading, written and oral expression as well as mathematical facts, algorithms and problem solving.  Students develop an appreciation of the world around them through intensive project-oriented work in social studies and a hands-on science program.

We have a state-of-the-art mobile computer lab and computers in every classroom.  Courses in art, instrumental and vocal music, as well as physical education, round out the program.

Our Judaic studies program similarly stresses Hebrew language skills in reading, written and oral expression.  Jewish customs and ceremonies, which occur as we progress through the school year, are integrated into the program in a natural fashion, with an emphasis on Jewish values.  Studying sacred texts (Torah) begins in Grade 3.  A bond with Israel is nurtured through instruction on Israeli history, the celebration of Israeli holidays, and involvement in Israel community related projects, as well as weekly visits by  Israeli students.
