But don't take our word for it; come in and see our school in action!
Hebrew Education
Throughout the centuries of Jewish life, from ancient times to present, our people have endured. The responsibility of educating our children about their heritage has been left up to us, parents and educators. Choosing the proper Hebrew School gives us the assurance that our children will be imbued with a solid Judaic education, with pride and affection for their heritage and for the land of Israel.
Our School
We offer a unique approach in Judaic studies. Our program is designed for elementary school-age children (ages 5-12) who are otherwise not receiving a formal Jewish education.
At Chabad of Charleston, we provide an experience that represents a positive, cheerful and enjoyable chapter of the child's maturing life.
Our Approach
At our Hebrew School, we strive to stress the beauty and warmth of Judaism and its Mitzvot (precepts). With our unique educational approach, our students are able to explore and discover the beauty of their heritage, in an atmosphere of joy and warmth.
Many children are out of touch with an entity that has preserved us for thousands of years, an entity of beauty and deep significance and one which is inherently their own. At our Hebrew School, an area of particular emphasis is in the inculcation of Jewish values and ethics. Mutual tolerance and respect for fellow human beings are taught as basic principles of the Jewish faith.
Our Philosophy
Our school is a traditional learning center that successfully caters to Jewish families from all walks of life.
Indeed, everyone can feel comfortable with our style and approach. Our school welcomes every Jew, regardless of religious background or level of observance. It is for this reason that our school does not require any membership or prior affiliation as a condition for enrollment.
The Atmosphere
The underlying strength of our school is in its general warmth and spirit, providing a learning experience in an atmosphere of joy and liveliness. Audio-visual presentations, Friday Night Dinners, Saturday Shabbat programs, Havdallah ceremonies, school contests, field trips, hand-on educational children and family workshops, as well as games, drama, songs, parties, and arts and crafts are blended with the curriculum. This will ensure that your child will receive a stimulating educational experience in a fun and exciting way.
