As we wrap up the 2024-2025 school year, we take a step back to understand and appreciate the impact of Schechter learning. In Kindergarten, that could take the shape of a beautiful handmade Torah or a book of carefully curated photography. In Alim (grades 3-4) student learning reflects an interdisciplinary approach to the tremendous variations between different states and parts of our country. Our 8th graders demonstrate that these many facets of their Schechter experience culminate not only in their general academics, but also in their passion and commitment to wisdom, justice and historical truth.

Schechter learning doesn’t just end in the classroom. Students of all ages have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in places and situations sometimes far from our campus! This week, we focus on a few of the places that students are making connections between the classroom and the world around them: for 7th graders in Washington, DC, for 6th graders delving into immigration in New York, and for Early Childhood students mesmerized by massive paintings and sculptures at the New Britain Museum of American Art.
