2nd Grade General Studies
Second graders apply their skills and tackle more complex materials in all subject areas: from reading and writing to math, science and social studies, students extend beyond the basics, becoming aware of multiple ways to solve problems, interpret text and express ideas. Students’ natural curiosity is nurtured through exposure to thought-provoking literature, hands-on math exploration and many opportunities to research and present what they learn!

2nd Grade Judaic Studies
From reading and writing in Hebrew, to daily prayer and Torah study, to exploration of Jewish holidays and traditions, second graders apply their increasing Hebrew fluency and their budding critical thinking skills to deepen all aspects of their Jewish learning. Instruction is almost exclusively in Hebrew for all Judaic studies subjects and students practice the ability to participate in discussions and share their written ideas in Hebrew. Songs, games, stories, computer work and arts integration give second graders a wide variety of access points for learning and support a high level of engagement for all. Second grade is also the time students receive their very first Chumash (Torah book) at a meaningful all-school ceremony.
