Elementary School
Engaging, Hands-on Learning
Our Elementary School provides a dynamic and engaging learning environment, with a strong emphasis on hands-on experiences that ignite curiosity and encourage critical thinking. Our dual curriculum, encompassing both Hebrew and English, ensures a comprehensive and well-rounded education, preparing students for academic excellence across all disciplines. Through interactive lessons, creative projects, and real-world applications, we foster not only a love for learning but also the skills necessary for higher-level thinking and problem-solving.
Our rigorous academic program, combined with a focus on individual growth, has led many of our students to excel in middle school GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) programs and gain acceptance into competitive middle schools. By fostering a love for learning and developing strong foundational skills, we ensure that our students are well-prepared for advanced educational opportunities.
Special Programs
Music Education
Our music program introduces our youngest ECE students to music through hands-on instruction with our trained music specialist. This early exposure encourages children to discover and develop their musical talents. As they progress to K through 5th grade, students focus on strengthening their instrumental skills on piano keyboards and barred instruments such as the xylophone, metallophone, and glockenspiel. They also have the opportunity to join either the chorus or concert band, which includes woodwinds, brass, percussion, and piano.
In these classes, students advance their musical abilities by learning to read and notate music, practice ear training, and explore basic music theory. By the third grade, students are introduced to essential elements like recognizing melodic contour, understanding phrase length, and identifying harmonic personalities (such as major and minor). Our students gain a well-rounded musical foundation that supports both their creativity and technical growth.
Arts Program
Students will engage in art projects that enhance understanding of art concepts and art history, support learning of content curriculum, and encourage creative expression.
Students will:
Explore the seven elements of art within student compositions: line, form, value, shape, space, texture, and color
