Dynamic
We offer a dynamic curriculum based on multi-sensory programming with a special emphasis on learning through creative expression and the arts.
Small classes enable us to focus on individual development and self-expression as well as core Hebrew language skills and cultural and religious knowledge.
Our staff is supported in best practice classroom techniques and innovative teaching methods through ongoing professional development.
Inclusive
We are an inclusive learning community. The Centre for Jewish Living and Learning welcomes students with a range of learning challenges into our community, tailoring schedules and curriculum to support their educational, social, and sensory needs. We understand the importance of working closely with family and support professionals to design appropriate and attainable educational goals. We are committed to providing a rich and meaningful Jewish learning experience for all our students.

Our educational program is designed to connect:
to congregational life through integrated services, holiday programming, and special events
