As the 2023-2024 school year comes to a close, we reflect upon the academic, spiritual, social-emotional, and creative growth that occurred for our students. Early Childhood students culminate their year with a project inspired by their interests and passions. Fifth and sixth graders build upon their research to replicate elements of a Medieval society, while seventh and eighth graders learn the importance of learning from their mistakes through engineering feats. Kindergarten students begin a journey of spiritual learning and reflection that will continue through eighth grade and beyond. Read about all of these pieces, and see photos from the exciting 8th grade vs. faculty basketball game! Have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to the 2024-2025 school year!

We’ve been making great use of Schechter’s new Scott Shoham z”l Memorial Makerspace since it was dedicated earlier this year. Learn about Alim’s Shark Tank project that turned students into detectives and engineers as well as the Anafim Text to Textiles program that synthesized Jewish learning with a hands-on textiles project. Plus, our 8th graders have returned from Italy, filled with new knowledge of Italian Jewish history and a deep appreciation for homemade pasta! Learn about the great things happening at Schechter, as well as what Rabbi Yoni Berger has to say about Parashat Behar.
