Curriculum

Our Hebrew School program offers a Hebrew and Jewish studies curriculum. Students learn to read and write Hebrew, basic Hebrew language skills and gain an appreciation for the who, what, when and why of Jewish life.

Our educational approach sees the student as an active learner, a dynamic explorer rather than a passive recipient of knowledge. As such, our curriculum cultivates the student's natural enthusiasm for learning, so that s/he emerges with th

e values, knowledge and skills necessary for a solid foundation of life-long Jewish learning. 

At Gilbert Hebrew School we engage your child's sense of identity by capturing his/her imagination and attention. So, we put a lot of effort into providing our students with substantive lessons and a positive atmosphere.  
   
The lessons are multi-sensory and hands-on, ensuring that the students truly experience what they are being taught. The lessons are structured with discussion-starters, to create a lively, interactive classroom experience. The information truly becomes the student's own.
