Chai Hebrew School

Imagine a Hebrew School where kids don't want to miss a day. They come in with a smile and leave humming a Hebrew song. Imagine a child who feels the warmth and spirit of Judaism and understands its importance in today's society.

The Chai School is a unique Hebrew School where the beauty, values and traditions of Judaism are brought to life through a kaleidoscope of activities and interactive lessons. Our dedicated teaching staff ensures that your child's experiences reflect a positive, cheerful and enjoyable chapter of his or her maturing process. Our school enjoys a wellearned reputation as a trendsetter in creative Jewish education for kids ages five to thirteen.

Have you ever heard "but Hebrew reading is boring"?
Move over and make room for Aleph Champ, modeled after the Karate/Martial Arts system. Aleph Champ motivates students as they advance in rank from White to Red and all the way to Black Belt, as they learn to read Hebrew in an efficient, well-orchestrated and fun manner.

Kids call our program fun, you'll think of it more as awesome or cutting-edge. Our class size is small, our teachers' hearts are big. We take a square look at everything from Lifecycles to Jewish "Walk of Famers" to Current Events in Israel. Our highly acclaimed TORAHpedia workbook - with its distinctive oblong design - stimulates the imagination. Our creative Midot & Manners Treasure Hunt gives kids a new angle on Judaism. One peek and we're sure you'll agree that our curriculum is well rounded.
