Beit Sefer Chadash (The New School) is a school with three innovative programs in Hebrew, Jewish culture and Torah study for elementary and middle-school ages; designed to inspire, delight and nourish your child’s spiritual growth.

Our mission is to educate children in grades K - 7 so that they can live as Jewish adults with:
• respect for their own spirituality,
• ability to participate in the Jewish world
• pride in their Jewish heritage.

Although the school is descended from a Jewish education project begun nearly 17 years ago, we still call ourselves Beit Sefer Chadash, A New School, because we strive to constantly renew the school with innovative and creative programs. We are committed to providing students with an engaging, quality Jewish education.

While families are invited to affiliate with Congregation Nevei Kodesh, we understand that some want to introduce their children to Jewish customs, history and the Hebrew language without congregational affiliation. All are equally welcome in this community school. Note, however, that, as the sponsoring congregation, Nevei Kodesh requires membership when a child becomes a Bar/ Bat Mitzvah in our community, and a discount is offered to families who are Nevei Kodesh members.

Our three programs work hand in hand to give your child the foundation necessary to become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah and continue growing to become an active member in any Jewish community. We want you and your child to see how intertwined all these aspects of Judasim are and how important it is that you learn about each of them.

Our different programs allow for different styles of teaching, different groupings of students, and different locations to help each child receive the education and type of teaching he or she needs to excel. A child who attends all three programs for their duration is likely to be more confident in his/her Judaism, more educated about Judaism (history, Israel, Torah, holidays), and will need to spend less time with a tutor when preparing to become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

We hope you will feel as strongly as we do about the importance of instilling Jewish values in your child and understand why all three of our programs, while separate on the front-most level are really extensions of one another and are necessary to help form a well rounded, Jewish young adult coming into our community.
