Our Religious School provides instruction from kindergarten through Confirmation in Tenth Grade.  This year, the School has embraced the Union for Reform Judaism "Chai" curriculum, a nationwide program developed and constantly updated by Jewish education professionals. The Chai curriculum is based on the most important concepts and values of Jewish life, helping students grow into committed and thoughtful Jewish adults.  Building on this curriculum, our Religious School program is lovingly conceived by our dedicated volunteers and each lesson combines text reading, discussion, crafts, skits and other creative activities to enhance learning.    
 
Classes are held on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.  Our volunteer director and teachers are dynamic, enthusiastic and creative.  We have assemblies, prayer services and inter-class activities so each child will feel like they and their class are part of something larger.
