Our Curriculum
We're impressed with our curriculum, now it's your turn! We hope to 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. Here is a list of what is in store for the upcoming semester:
INTRODUCING... ALEPH CHAMP!
We are very excited to announce that for the coming semester, Chabad of Frederick's Hebrew School will be the only Hebrew School in the area offering the new, internationally acclaimed Aleph Champ program. This widely acclaimed Hebrew reading curriculum incorporates color coded achievement levels (ala colored karate belts) to help motivate progress. This will ensure that, not only will your child learn to read Hebrew fluently by the end of his/her Hebrew School experience, they will also enjoy it every step of the way!
