Inspired by tradition and rooted in Jewish values, our after school Jewish education program offers meaningful experiences that celebrate the unique learning paths of each student.
Our Approach
Jewish learning at JCP is timely, relevant, hands-on, fun-focused, and multi-sensory. We believe that the best way to learn about Judaism is to taste Jewish food, act out Jewish stories, play games, create art, get silly, and have fun discussing and debating Jewish texts.
Each grade tackles a big idea or theme and the curriculum evolves each year to include the unique interests and passions of the teachers and learners who make up the friendly classroom community. Learn More.
