Why Send Your Child To A Jewish School?

From this guide, you will learn some of the top reasons you should consider sending your children to a Jewish school to enhance their Jewish education. 

The future of Jewish education in Sydney New South Wales (NSW) is in the souls, hearts and minds of a group of educators that put students at the forefront. They make it their mission and duty to learn for the sake of teaching. So, if you are in doubt about whether to take your children to a Jewish school, here are some reasons that will convince you otherwise.

Grounding

While it may seem that grounding is antithetical to change, traditions can support and sustain change. Having shared values, structure and a tradition to hold upon when things shift or change – whether in your personal life, education world, or the larger world, the songs, traditions, foods, languages and celebrations in Jewish schools give students roots so that they can embrace what is coming.

Ethics

Ethics is one of the top reasons you should consider taking your children to a Jewish school. The idea that students study proper ethics and that they focus in a way developmentally appropriate to their level makes you hopeful that as your children grow up, they will gain an increased understanding of the importance of other people and their own actions in the world and environment around them.

Community

Jewish education provides your children with more than just a curriculum education. Jewish schools come together for their teachers, students and families during times of sadness and happiness. It is during these challenging times that the main value of being in a religious school is evident. It is not just a place for students to be educated but a good place for a family to be supported by others.

Roots

Students who go to a Jewish school feel that they are an accurate continuation of history and the social studies and history they explore isn’t limited to those outlined in the state standards and common core. It is a properly integrated history that includes them and brings forth their own stories.

Superb education

Jewish school education is rigorous and rich – not only do Jewish schools provide academically excellent programs in history, language, math and STEM, but the knowledge and skills students learn through analysing, collaborating and questioning Jewish beliefs and text deepen their abilities in other areas. The benefit from learning additional languages such as Hebrew challenge their brains through engaging language and meaning exploration.

Well-rounded curriculum

In Jewish schools, the soul and the unique experience of all students are valued. Jewish schools work to ensure the educational and emotional needs of students can be met. Students learn more about academic, emotional, spiritual and artistic matters.

Social responsibility

Jewish education in Sydney NSW helps students to learn both philanthropy and community service in their communities and beyond. Students see how their school is socially responsible and they participate in it. They learn to do it independently and see what they can do to change the world and not just when they are grown-ups but now when they are still children.
