How does the school balance the demands of both a general and a Judaic curriculum within each school day? Students in dual curriculum programs successfully attend colleges/universities prepared in ways that others are not; they excel academically and have a clear understanding of the importance of making a positive difference in the world.  This is a direct result of our rich dual-curricular approach to their education. While we do have distinct secular and Judaic classes, we pride ourselves in using an integrative approach that crosses all disciplines.  Rather than just dividing our day into Jewish and secular portions, all of our studies are approached in a unified curriculum that allows appropriate educational focus, fluidity and flexibility.  For example, when studying a holiday, we may discuss the aspects of the day in Hebrew, produce a related art project, utilize math and science to create a dish for the celebration and then read a classic text in English that brings the entire lesson together.   [ show all FAQs ]
