At SHAS, we believe that no two students are the same, and no two people learn identically. We model a whole-child approach focusing on all areas of a child's development and learning, including fostering social-emotional development and cognitive skills.
By engaging all students -- mind, body, and soul -- we are laying the foundation for lifelong confident learners and happy people.
We offer specialized services for full classes, small groups, as well as for individual students:
-
Open Circle Social Emotional Curriculum with a Jewish lens (Torah values and middot)
-
OT Groups with an outside therapist
-
Fine motor
-
Sensory integration
-
Zones of regulation
-
-
Social Skills Groups, e.g. Lunch Bunch
-
Collaboration
-
Negotiation
-
Compromise, etc.
-
There are numerous resources available for students who need learning support and accommodation, organized by Batya Foreman, our Director of Educational Resources and Student Support:
-
Learning specialists support diverse learning needs in reading, writing, math, Hebrew, organizational skills, and other context learning.
-
SHAS teachers work in direct partnership with Gateways: Access to Jewish Education therapists and learning professionals, providing seamless learning support both inside and outside the classroom.
