Core Curriculum: Tree of Jewish Values
Our school-wide core curriculum is based on our Tree of Jewish Values, focusing on these “roots”: Torah, Avodah, and G’milut Chasadim.
These values are integrated into the curriculum for each individual class (read more about classes here) as well as our whole-school “camp days” and holiday festivities.
Torah
All students learn Torah as appropriate to their age group, from Bible stories with young ones to philosophy and morality with older students. We learn Hebrew at every grade level from the Aleph-Bet all the way through leining with confidence as a B’nai Mitzvah. Holidays are, of course, a great source of excitement at our school. Students and their families participate in building/decorating our Sukkah, lighting Chanukkah candles, dancing with the Torah, performing the story of Esther, and enjoying Seders for Tu B’Shivat and Pesach.
Avodah: Living a Jewish Life
We value experiential learning at our school, and feel that the best way to teach Living a Jewish Life is to live it! Students are immersed in Jewish culture through cooking together, eating together, and, for our older students, experiencing life cycle events together. Each week includes music classes during which all students sing and dance to Jewish songs as well as learning how to participate in (and even lead) prayers during services.
G’milut Chasadim: Acts of Loving-Kindness
All projects and celebrations at our school contain an element of G'milut Chasadim. Students are encouraged to explore their own contributions to the world. Field trips to the JCC Milk & Honey Farm, the CU Challenge Course, and local parks allow for learning about community, collaboration, and kindness to animals and the Earth. Students participate in service projects and creative activities to benefit the community and learn the importance of tzedakah.
