Our goal is to provide an education that prepares our students for an ever-expanding world. We not only provide high quality instruction, but also strive to foster values such as empathy, social and civic responsibility, and global citizenship. Our strong program includes English, math, science, social studies, modern Hebrew and Israeli studies, music, art, physical education, and social and emotional learning. We hold our students to a high level of academic expectations and differentiate our instruction, as well as utilize best practices in education to meet the needs of each child.
English Language Arts (ELA)
Our ELA program focuses on developing students who love to read, are analytical readers and writers, and can express themselves creatively and argumentatively through their writing.
Mathematics
Our mathematics program focuses on creating young mathematicians who are problem solvers, have a strong foundation in number fluency, and can explain and justify their thoughts and critique the reasoning of others.
Science
Our science program provides an authentic, evidence-based approach to improving student achievement in science. We use the Science Dimensions program for K-8 science.
Modern Hebrew
In Hebrew, students engage in meaningful interactions in the language, developing their speaking and comprehension skills. In a short time, students can understand Hebrew and respond in simple sentences. As their skills grow, they are introduced to more complex topics and can communicate in Hebrew in more sophisticated ways. Hebrew is usually taught by native speakers who speak only Hebrew to their students.
Social and emotional learning
In addition to the social and emotional learning opportunities integrated into classroom instruction, we provide students with differentiated support (counseling, mentoring); experiential learning opportunities; and engaging students as collaborators in their learning. Responsive classroom is a school-wide approach to how we build positive, engaging learning communities with our children.
Arts
To access the full potential of arts education, the school provides focused instruction in specific arts subjects and integrates arts education into the broader curriculum. Wherever possible, Hebrew instruction is integrated into our music and art education.
