Religious School Curriculum

Our curriculum has been designed with our school goals in mind, so as to provide each child with a well-rounded, engaging Jewish education.  Each grade has a specific curricular focus for their yearly studies.  In addition, Hebrew language and learning about the holidays are built into each grade’s curriculum.
