What makes JLC GREAT? At the JLC, we strive to nurture Jewish minds, inspire Jewish actions, and ignite Jewish spirits within a dynamic, engaging, and caring community. We look forward to having your child(den) join us for an inspiring, joyful and music-filled year. Community: Each classroom is a kehillah (community) of Jewish learners asking questions in a safe space, learning to be proud Jews, and doing mitzvot (good deeds). Experienced Teachers: Our teachers have between 6 and 20 years of classroom experience and bring a wide range of expertise to the JLC. Experiential, Multi-sensory Learning: Teachers use a variety of teaching methods to engage students on every level, including: embracing Jewish history as our shared family story, learning Hebrew through games and yoga, participating in StorahTelling (using creative dramatics in Torah study), creating Torah diagrams, and chevrutah (paired) study. Students also participate in many social action projects. Our JLC students are engaged in active learning while receiving a fun, fulfilling and engaging Jewish education.
