What are some of the differences between Heschel and other schools?
Heschel shares many of the same characteristics of highly respected, private, independent schools. Experienced educators and administrators, specialized staff as early as kindergarten (e.g. language, art, music, and physical education), small class size, and an individualized approach are all valued components of our school. A main difference between Heschel and other private and public schools is that in addition to a “secular” curriculum, we provide a pluralistic Jewish education serving the needs of Jewish families of all denominations and styles of Jewish expression. Another unique feature of Heschel is our integrated curriculum, which exposes children to many components of Jewish tradition throughout the day including Hebrew language, prayer, culture, art, history, and geography.
