Education
Early Childhood (Up to 5)
Our youngest students learn about the Torah, holidays, and Jewish values while forming friendships and making connections.
SULAM (K through 5th Grade)
TCS’s innovative educational model for grades K-5 is called “SULAM,” the Hebrew word for “ladder.” SULAM is an acronym for: Source for Understanding, Learning, and Meaning.
Gesher (Grades 6 & 7)
Our 6th graders study Shabbat prayers and texts along with learning about Jewish values, spirituality and traditions. Students in 7th grade focus on Jewish Life-Cycle events and Mitzvot.
Teen Programming (Grades 8 through 12)
Our teenage students experience being part of a Jewish community. The teen years are and get to explore what it means to be Jewish and decide what path they want to take as adults.
