Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of the Hebrew Academy education. The Hebrew Academy’s authentic and strong community, in partnership with Jewish Long Beach, nurtures every child to develop a strong positive identity, while empowering them to thrive.
Through a grant from Jewish Family and Children’s Services in Long Beach and West Orange County (JFCS), the Hebrew Academy provides individual and small group counseling with on-site therapists as well as psychoeducational and therapeutic art workshops. Innovative experiences like this drum circle support the social-emotional well-being of the students.
