Our mission is to promote a quality Judaic studies program for a diverse
community of Jewish children. We teach children the meaning,
relevance and importance of Jewish life and religious
observances. Included in our curriculum is an acquisition of
basic knowledge of the Hebrew language. We nurture our children
with a dedication to the American Jewish community and to the
State of Israel.
Educational Philosophy
The philosophy of our school is to develop a caring community where
all children are part of the learning process, and each child
participates in a variety of programs and activities. The focus is on
personal growth and development for each individual child, in
conjunction with learning the subject matter of our curriculum.
Family Events
The JCV Religious School includes the following events in its
schedule: Shabbat family dinners prior to congregational services, a
Chanukah party, a Purim Carnival, and a model Passover Seder. Parent
meetings are held once a month to discuss school activities.
Structure of the School Program
Sunday School hours are 9:30-11:30 a.m.
Group 1: K-Grade 2
Group 2: Grades 3-5
Group 3 Grades 6-8
Our curriculum includes Jewish history, holidays, culture, music
literature, Jewish folklore, Hebrew and exploration into Jewish
identity. Hebrew is taught in each of the classrooms, as well as one
additional class on a weekday afternoon. We have small, ungraded classes
where each child can receive individual attention from our experienced
teachers.
Parental Involvement
Parent involvement is a key to the success of our Religious School
Program; therefore, parent representatives are members of the Education
Committee of the JCV. All parents are encouraged to participate in our
various special programs and celebrations. Coffee and conversation
meetings are scheduled for the first Sunday of each month. Parents are
urged to attend.
