Judaic Studies and Hebrew
Kadima takes great pride in its exceptional Judaic Studies program and Hebrew curriculum. Rooted in the values of Jewish and Israeli traditions, our students engage in an immersive and meaningful exploration of all aspects of Jewish culture, history, and heritage. Through a dynamic and interactive approach, our dedicated educators foster a deep connection to Jewish identity by incorporating a balance of experiential learning, Hebrew language acquisition, and textual studies. In our Hebrew language instruction, students acquire both spoken and written skills, enabling them to communicate fluently in the language. Our program provides students with a strong foundation in Jewish literacy and prepares them to become active participants in Jewish life beyond the elementary years. We are proud to offer an enriching Jewish education that ignites a lifelong love and passion for Judaism within our students.
Project-Based Learning
Immersed in an engaging and hands-on educational approach, our students develop a deep understanding of concepts and skills by actively participating in real-world projects. Through this approach, they apply critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills to make meaningful connections between different subjects. Whether it is constructing a model of a living cell or designing a marketing campaign for an entrepreneurial high-tech innovative product, our students are empowered to take ownership of their learning, foster creativity, and develop a lifelong love for inquiry and discovery. Our project-based learning curriculum not only fosters academic excellence but also nurtures holistic growth, empowering our students to become confident, competent, and compassionate individuals ready to make a positive impact in the world.
Habits of Heart
At Kadima Day School, cultivating a Habit of Heart and instilling the principle of Tikkun Olam are at the core of our curriculum. The Habit of Heart refers to the thoughtful and compassionate actions we encourage our students to engage in, promoting empathy, kindness, and respect towards others. Integrated throughout our academic programs, our Tikkun Olam curriculum empowers students with the understanding that they have the power to repair the world. By emphasizing community service, social justice, and environmental stewardship, we aim to nurture a sense of responsibility for making a positive impact on the world around us. As our students grow, they gain a deep appreciation for the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam, equipping them with the tools to become engaged and empathetic global citizens.
