Advisory Program Spotlight
Our Middle School advisory curriculum has been carefully designed to provide your children with the social and emotional support they need to succeed as Middle School students. Extensive research shows that as young adolescents strive for independence, and, at the same time, grapple with learning to regulate their own behavior and make responsible choices, their need for close, caring adult supervision and guidance is paramount.

Educational and Co-Curricular Programming
The Middle School offers a rich variety of educational programming, ranging from hands-on chesed projects, team-building activities, special guest speakers, observance of Jewish and national holidays. We also engage in bonding activities such as white water rafting, ice skating, hiking in Central Park and much more. A central focus of ours is participation in meaningful chesed in our greater community, whether through food and coat drives, challah bakes, mishloach manot packing and distribution, METLife Council, and visiting area homebound seniors. We are excited to share our programming and chesed opportunities with your children when they arrive this fall.
Our Joyful Approach to Judaism
Describe what and how Shabbat, holidays, milestone celebrations, Ahavat Israel, Hebrew as a living language, chesed activities, overnight trips, text study, etc., are observed, taught, and integrated into our curriculum order to cultivate joy and pride in being Jewish, and laying foundation for students to become future Jewish leaders that will engage in their communities and the greater world to help repair and heal.
