What Sets Us Apart?
✓ ALEF – The Learning:
We believe that Torah is sweet as honey and accessible to all children.
Our mixed-age, tracked model allows children to join a class best suited to them and excel at their own pace. Tracks are on par with and correspond to mainstream grade levels.
Learning is both traditional and experiential, harnessing innate childhood creativity, imagination,
and thoughtfulness to allow for an immersive experience replete with development of real-world
skills.
✓ BEIS – The Teachers:
We want our children to feel at home in Tashbar, and this occurs naturally when our teachers and support staff are not only experienced teachers, but also caring mentors.
Learning can occur when a child’s needs are met and he is in a wholesome, secure mind space, and so cultivating a warm and joyful environment becomes foundational to our students’ personal and academic success.
We maintain a very low teacher:student ratio.
✓ GIMMEL – The Students:
We believe that children are innately curious and desire to learn; they are capable of assuming responsibility and training to be adults.
At Tashbar, our students are given the opportunity to be men in the world: they can go fishing, run a minyan, build real structures, write a poem, sing a solo, and repaint their classroom. Tashbar provides the opportunities to develop academic, social and emotional competence and confidence, and the chance to grow the wings of personal responsibility.
Tashbar children live in the present and learn for the future.
