Core Values
B'tselem Elohim: Being created in God's image means we have a responsibility to emulate a moral, ethical, and compassionate path, and to celebrate the uniqueness of each individual.
K'lal Yisrael: K'lal Yisrael is a unique and unifying entity bound by special covenantal responsibilities between God, the Jewish people, and the State of Israel.
Tikkun Olam: Tikkun Olam is the life-affirming partnership with God that maintains, enhances and repairs our world physically, emotionally and socially through acts of loving kindness (g'milut chasadim) and commandments (mitzvot).
Community: Our school community celebrates being part of the larger community. We are guided by our Jewish ethics and values in embracing, respecting and acting responsibly with the highest standard of behavior toward others.
Knowledge: Knowledge is fostered through a focused and multi-dimensional approach to secular and Jewish learning and serves as a foundation to a life-long pursuit toward understanding and wisdom.
Faith: Faith is trust in the covenantal relationship with God and openness to God's presence.
Character: Character develops through a process of learning and experience. It is exemplified by well-balanced, humble individuals who are mindful of the worth of every human being and who act with honesty, responsibility, respect and kindness.
