The curriculum at Placer Hebrew School is carefully prepared to provide Hebrew language skills, foundational knowledge of Jewish history and culture, while inspiring a deep understanding and appreciation for Jewish values. The lessons are presented in such a manner which fosters a real personal connection with the ideas learned, instilling confidence and pride in living as a Jew.

Areas of academic emphasis include:

  1. Jewish History
  2. Hebrew reading and vocabulary
  3. Hebrew Language
  4. Holidays and traditions
  5. Culture and current events

Each class is broken into two parts:

Part 1: An interactive way to tell the story or idea. 
Part 2: A hands-on activity where the kids continue learning the story or internalize the message. 

The curriculum is designed to offer timeless lessons and ways to integrate the knowledge children need to practically implement the skill. Children will have the passion and knowledge to live Jewishly, by internalizing the lessons and skills they learn. 

The study courses engage children in discovering the higher purpose of everyday lifestyle, and gives them the tools to practically implement their inspiration.

In addition to the weekly lessons, we have a host of other programs that we use to create the best experiences for your child:
