Curriculum Overview
Gimel-Bereishit: Students formally begin their study of Torah by focusing deeply on the first stories in the Torah — including creation, Adam and Eve, and the flood. They learn the havruta (partnership) mode of study, and will participate in projects focused on values that arise from the stories.
