Shalom School

Shalom School is a Jewish community school that 1) embraces the concept of the uniqueness and individuality of each child, and 2) develops understanding and respect for Jewish tradition and the divergent modes of Jewish belief and practice. The goal of Shalom School is to provide all students in the company's program from infant to sixth grade with... an educational foundation that meets their individual needs physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. To this end, a Shalom School education not only promotes a love of learning, but also provides a healthy balance between academic achievement and physical education, while stimulating creativity in the arts as well as the sciences. An experiential, child-oriented program featuring developmentally appropriate activities implemented in small and large group instruction enables students to develop decision-making skills and accountability for learning. The company share an uncompromising insistence on the excellence of both the General and Jewish Studies programs.
