Judaic Studies

The High School Judaic program is the culmination of years of learning and allows our students to learn Torah on a deeper and more personal level. In our core subject areas, Chumash and Gemara, students analyze and investigate, question and discover, the richness and meaning of our holy Jewish texts. They also have the opportunity to explore what it means to be a modern Jew by learning subjects such as Jewish History, Jewish Philosophy, and Halacha (Jewish Law). They also have the opportunity to participate in international competitions such as the Chidon HaTanach. The goal is that by the end of High School our students will have the ability and desire to continue learning on their own for the rest of their lives, to live committed Jewish lifestyles, and to contribute to the Jewish People wherever they go.
