Email CourtneyA Keshet parent once shared, “My son goes to school all week to learn academics. On Sundays, he goes to Keshet to learn to be a good person.” Keshet Sunday School explores topics like kindness, respect, teamwork and community.
Lessons are designed by special education teachers to use visual supports and differentiated instruction. As part of a multisensory experience, each Sunday closes with all students coming together for joyful singing led by fantastic musicians.
Students come from many religious backgrounds and all Jewish denominations. Small classes and a variety of program options allow us to tailor lessons specifically to students’ interests and families’ religious observance.
Students explore Jewish traditions and values through hands-on activities. Art, music, stories and games engage students in learning and making friends. Our classrooms are led by experienced teachers and dedicated volunteers who create a nurturing and interactive environment.
