Our Curriculum
Our Learning Goals and Standards:
At CHS, we engage your child's sense of identity by capturing his/her imagination and attention. So, we put a lot of effort into providing our students with substantive lessons and a positive atmosphere.
The lessons are multi-sensory and hands-on, ensuring that the students truly experience what they are being taught. The lessons are structured to create a lively, interactive experience. The information truly becomes the student's own.
At CHS, we promise that every lesson will be engaging, innovative, fun, relatable and memorable.
Our Curriculum:
Tefillah: Prayer In the 'busy-ness' of everyday life, prayer gives us the opportunity for introspection. Our goal is for our students to attain a familiarity with both the mechanics and deeper messages of the prayers.
Kriah: Hebrew Reading Attaining the skill of Hebrew reading allows our students to connect to their Jewish identity through the Torah's original language.
Chagim: Holidays Each holiday celebrates a unique story, a distinct message, along with special practices and rituals that bring the holiday alive. Our holiday curriculum synthesizes these three elements (story, deeper message, rituals/practices), bringing a relevance and joy to the Holiday.
Mitzvot: Jewish Practice The Torah is full of rituals and values to help guide us in living meaningful and productive lives - even (or perhaps, especially) in contemporary times. This class will teach basic Mitzvot to the younger grades and provide insightful meaning of more complex Mitzvot to the older grades.
Our Story: History The history of the Jewish nation is really the story of every individual Jew. Beginning from the Six Days of Creation and moving through time, the children explore the incredible journey of the Jewish people, and in effect, of themselves. Lessons are interactive, fascinating and relevant; children meet biblical and historical personalities and learn their stories —their challenges, their triumphs and their contributions. Children are inspired to add their link to the chain of Jewish history.
this years Theme:
We are thrilled to share this years incredible program that will capture your child’s heart in the upcoming year.
We are excited to be taking students on a journey that will leave them feeling proud in their Jewish identity, self-confident, and empowered. We believe that a safe and nurturing environment will allow your child to thrive. Through a hands-on learning experience, your child will develop a strong sense of belonging and individuality.
At Chabad Hebrew School, we are always working on enhancing our curriculum to make it more of an immersive and meaningful Jewish experience. This year, we have worked hard to assemble a curriculum that will expand your child’s knowledge base while encouraging your child’s creative side to blossom.
Using educational tools, such as theater, crafts, STEM, and filmmaking, we will be diving deep into the first book of the Torah. From Adam and Eve through The Great Flood and until the story of Yosef, your child will cultivate a strong Jewish identity, Torah values, and be able to flourish emotionally, physically, and mentally. They will know that this is their story and feel a sense of belonging as a part of Jewish history.
We are looking forward to exploring this incredible course and growing with you this year.
