2024 - 2025 RELIGIOUS SCHOOL INFORMATION
Temple B’nai Israel’s Religious School provides Jewish learning opportunities for its students through hands-on and experiential units of study that allow students to develop a sense of Jewish identity, strong Jewish values and a love for Jewish learning with a little STEAM along the way. With the implementation of project-based learning**, our learning program, which provides support to students of all learning and behavioral needs, and family and parent programming, our students and their families build confidence and comfort in their connection to Jewish tradition and community.

**What is Project-Based Learning?
Project-Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for a period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.
Students work on a project to solve a real-world problem or answer a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product, artifact, or presentation.
As a result, students develop deep content knowledge, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. Skills all students need to be successful in the 21st century. Project-Based Learning unleashes a contagious, creative energy among students and teachers. It aligns to the Jewish value of chevrutah - learning through partnership.
