The Jewish Center Religious School Mission Statement

The Jewish Center Religious School's mission is to create a nurturing, stimulating and inspiring environment where learning is for everyone and not beyond anyone.  We strive to provide high-quality, relevant, and engaging educational experiences that foster a strong sense of identity, commitment to Jewish living and values, connection to one another and to our community and concern for the world around us.  We seek to impart in our students a love of tradition so strong that individuals will continue to make Judaism a meaningful part of their adult lives and one day pass on this commitment to their children.

Curriculum

The Four Pillars of the Curriculum

Hebrew

The school curriculum emphasizes Hebrew as both a sacred and a living language for Jews. Therefore two tracks of Hebrew study were created: the prayer track and    the conversational track.

• Prayer Track: At each grade level, students continue increasing prayer skill competency while becoming more fluent and accurate in Hebrew reading.
• Conversational Track: There is a growing interest among our TJC families for acquiring the modern Hebrew language.  Our Israeli teachers will help our students understand that Hebrew is more than just a language of prayer.  Our Conversational track will focus on Hebrew letters, words, phrases and short stories. Students will learn how to speak and understand modern Hebrew.

Yachdav (Special Needs Program)

This Solomon Shechter award-winning program is for students with special needs. The program includes a resource room equipped with laptop computers, Smart Board technology and one-to-one tutoring with in-class assistance.  Students will have individualized education plans created for them in consultation with parents, teachers and a special needs coordinator.  Those interested in partaking of any of these services should contact the Principal (Gila Levin 609-921-7207).
