CJC Religious School: Integrated Family Educational Approach

Every year the CJC Religious School grows and changes to meet the need of our families and our community. Our foundation remains the same - the family education model, in which parents come to class to learn with their children; the study of Torah, of Jewish life, and of Hebrew; the incorporation of Mitzvot into our lives; and the deepening of the chevra (community) of our children and families.

Believing that the education our children involved the whole family, we expect parents to attend classes with their children. Classes are fun and thought-provoking, and we look forward to seeing you there!
