The Value of the Hebrew Academy Dual Curriculum

The Hebrew Academy's dual curriculum creates meaningful opportunities for learning to take place.

 

The Hebrew Academy's Judaic curriculum specifically targets high-order thinking skills that create a rich and meaningful learning experience that extends students learning. Critical thinking, evaluation, and analysis are built into our program and begin as early as Preschool.

 

We're on the Cutting Edge

READY! STEADY! CUT! The Hebrew Academy's dual curriculum creates meaningful opportunities to work on important skills.

 

When students see purpose in their learning they are excited to engage and through meaningful experiences develop important skills.

 

Our Kindergarten students are experts at creating their Alef Bet puppets to reinforce the Hebrew Letter recognition and sound. They feel empowered to work independently and developing many important fine motor skills in the process.

 

 

Data Analysis in Middle School

Our Middle School Students are fully engaged in their PBL project - Living in Harmony with Nature. This week they are working at comparing, analyzing the damages caused from natural catastrophes like hurricanes, earthquakes and fires.

 

It is remarkable to see how they are incorporating their knowledge of excel, chart creations and even website building, to showcase all their findings.

 

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting opportunity - we look forward to understanding how we can all be better prepared for when disasters strike

Hebrew Academy students are pumped and excited to embark on our iREADY challenge. Every lesson we do brings us closer to our goal and helps us get better every day! This enthusiasm for learning is priceless!

 

The Hebrew Academy has incorporated the iReady online program for reading and mathematics because it helps our teachers determine every student’s individual needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year.

 

WE'RE READY!

 

 

History is Alive

History came alive yesterday, when our 4th Graders got to enjoy their "Walk Through California" experience.

 

This annual tradition at our school helps solidify the learning in this fun and interactive program that incorporates games, music, storytelling, lots of smiles and many laughs.

 

The students all walked away as "EXPERTS" of the major events that shaped our great state of California and they loved presenting the facts they knew to the group.

 

The best part was constructing the giant map of California, marking the many landmarks we know and look forward to visiting.

Hands on Learning

The Hebrew Academy builds a solid foundation for life-long learning by creating opportunities for students to explore and reflect the curriculum. Debbi is using a balance beam to gain a richer understanding of inequalities setting a strong foundation for algebraic thinking.
