Religious School at Seaside
Our curriculum is Jewish value based. We approach learning as fun. Lessons are interactive to include hands-on activities, exploratory questions, discussions, and multisensory instruction. Students form friendships with other Jewish students and share the bond of their Jewish Identity.
The curriculum focuses on several areas, including Hebrew language and prayer; lessons from the Torah; traditional holidays; Shabbat; Jewish ethics and values; Jewish identity; and community, Israel, and Jews around the world. Jewish expression is encouraged through Art, Music, Theater and Cooking.
The school meets on Sunday mornings from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon from September through May. Our weekly sessions include classes for kindergarten through 6th grade. We also offer a once-a-month class for our pre-K children, known as Menschkins.

After the students complete 6th grade, they move on to a year of B’Mitzvah preparation with both class instruction with their cohort and one-on-one tutoring sessions with the Religious School tutor and Rabbi. To keep our teens engaged after B’Mitzvah, we welcome and encourage them to volunteer as teaching assistants in the religious school for the younger grades.
