Our Values 
At Chabad, I am safe to BE...
To think my own thoughts and
to express them in my true voice

I am free                              
To EXPLORE:                              
To discover the infinite possibilities                          
Within myself                            
 And within the world around me.                
                                           I am aware
                                        Of RELATIONSHIPS:
                                 And my dynamic connection
                                       With people
                                          And my environment.
I am imbued                                       
With a RESPONSIBILITY:                                      
To effect positive change                                     
In myself                                     
And my community.                                       
                             I approach life
                             With JOY:
                           To appreciate both the
                            Big and small 
                                Filling me with happiness.      
I am conscious                                   
Of TIME:                                     
To celebrate                                       
Its unique flavors                                      
And to imbue it with meaning.                               
                                      I am mindful 
                                    Of SPACE:
                                To recognize its effect on me
                                Respect its boundaries
                                 And appreciate its character.

 

 
      Our Curricular Approach
       
           RELEVANT   MEANINGFUL  LASTING

Our educational approach sees the student as an active learner, a dynamic explorer rather than a passive recipient of knowledge. As such, our curriculum cultivates the student's natural enthusiasm for learning, so that s/he emerges with the values, knowledge and skills necessary for a solid foundation of life-long Jewish learning.

Our curriculum is aligned with developmentally appropriate standards of knowledge and skills within the framework of an elementary-aged child.

Our curriculum (and its inherent values, information and skills) is connected to, and built upon, previously learned material. Concepts introduced are continually reviewed and revisited. This is called a “spiraling curriculum” - where one set of learning experiences creates a foundation for the next.

Our program is designed so that it allows for the different components within the curriculum to be integrated with each other, revisiting the content in various contexts.

By providing an environment where exploration is encouraged, teachers who are supportive and knowledgeable, and a simulating syllabus, the student has the capacity to fill his/her Judaic ‘toolbox’ with strong Jewish values, substantive knowledge, and honed skills.
