Programs

From Nursery to Eighth Grade, we provide a nurturing learning environment. Our award-winning curriculum combines General and Judaic studies, taught by highly experienced educators, in a low student-to-teacher ratio, enabling each child to thrive. We foster personal growth, healthy competition, and a lifelong love for learning, equipping students with key tools– to succeed in
life– intellectually and emotionally.

18 Months to 6 years old

We teach children to focus, trust, and be independent. We encourage them to become risk takers, problem solvers, and creative thinkers. We encourage them to be confident, with each other, and with the adults who help guide them through their day. The program emphasizes community-building and ethical growth, by teaching children to be kind, respectful, curious, and questioning. Learning is thematic, interdisciplinary, and center-based. Children increase their focus, follow multi-step directions, collaborate, and complete tasks. We teach pre-reading and pre-math skills, laying the ground work for developing academic abilities. We use a project-based approach: we create art, cook and bake, and grow and care for animals. We teach children the weekly Torah portion, Jewish traditions and practices, and love for Israel, at an age-appropriate level.

*8 a.m. drop off available for children with siblings in the Lower and Middle Schools.

Kindergarten through Fifth Grades

Lower School students attend classes from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Monday through Friday, following a rigorous curriculum that combines Jewish and General Studies.

We focus on Torah, Prophets, and Jewish traditions, as well as Math, English, Science, Performing Arts and Physical Fitness. The curriculum is enriched with art, music, dance, literature, and technology, including lessons in computer literacy and safety. Special events like math and science fairs, assemblies, and Color War complement academic life. We use New York City’s spaces, events and resources to enrich our student’s learning experiences.

Students develop critical skills like research, writing, and organization in a collaborative, respectful environment, with individualized support for both accelerated learners and those needing extra assistance.

Sixth through Eighth Grades

Sixth to Eighth grade students prepare for high school with increasingly complex academics. They enhance their skills in analyzing texts in both English and Hebrew, conduct independent research, and use technology extensively, including coding and creating websites.

The curriculum includes advanced studies in Jewish texts, and a dedicated STEM and engineering program. Students also engage in community service through Chesed programs. Preparation for High School begins in 7th grade.

Our Middle School emphasizes critical thinking, global awareness, and Jewish identity.

Lower and Middle Schools

Between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Fridays, we offer activities such as Sports (Soccer and Krav Maga are popular), Science, Computers, Art and Cooking. Each activity is open to students of different grades, to foster school cohesion, and teach students how to interact with children of different ages. Programming varies by semester and student interest.
