The Middle School curriculum recognizes the many changes during this stage of life and centers its program on the religious, intellectual, social, emotional, moral and physical development needs of young adolescents. Since middle school corresponds to the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah, our curriculum addresses the significant transition from childhood to adult responsibility from a Torah perspective. Students are imbued with an understanding of the purpose and goals of Judaism. School experiences are enhanced with exploratory programs, a graduation research thesis, class trips, cultural field trips, student government and after-school clubs and athletics. A close relationship between students and faculty is encouraged to maximize the potential of each child.
