Friday School CurriculumThe curriculum of The Friday School focuses on two themes:
Our approach is pluralistic, recognizing the diverse understandings of Judaism of our members. We encourage children to acquire the tools that enable them to lead the Jewish lives that they and their families desire. Two Year Cycles Classroom curriculum is enhanced by weekly Shabbat celebrations and community learning time, family holiday celebrations and special intersession (January) projects. Hebrew is begun with reading readiness as part of the K/1 curriculum. Thereafter, families may elect to have their students continue with an hour of Hebrew instruction each week. Students may enter the elective Hebrew program at any time after 1st grade, though it is recommended that they begin in 2nd or 3rd grade. The Hebrew curriculum begins with phonics. After mastering Hebrew-reading skills, students are introduced to Hebrew both as the language of prayer for the Jewish people and also as a modern language.
* Does not include the Hebrew elective hour (see “Hebrew” above for description)
