The ICSS, comprising pre-kindergarten through 10th grade, is among a select few Jewish educational institutions in America that allow children from both Conservative and Reform backgrounds to study together and to learn about shared beliefs, customs, and history while respecting the distinctions between the movements.
The curriculum is designed to enable a student to gain both appreciation of and knowledge about Judaism. It is flexible enough to allow each teacher to use his or her own individual skills and strengths to meet the needs of the students. Each grade emphasizes certain facets of our faith and culture, whether it is Torah Stories in 1st grade or American Jewish History in 7th grade. In addition, both rabbis teach classes focus on preparing those 10th grade students from their individual congregations for separate Confirmation ceremonies held in the spring. A portion of each Sunday morning at ICSS is devoted to art or music classes, other avenues of learning about our rich heritage. The Inter-Congregational Sunday School is committed to providing each student the best possible Jewish education, helping to fulfill the obligation that each generation of Jews owes to the next. We invite your participation. |
