Our children live in an ever-evolving world – with technology, the Internet, digital games, and mobile technology. While adults may have a hard time staying current with so much change, our children – the next generation of learners – are what some call, “digital natives.” Our children know this world intimately and when material is presented outside of the digital world, some claim they have a harder time navigating the material, or worse yet, relating to it.

iLearn integrates technology into every area of the learning community, including teaching instruction, student collaboration, student work, and evaluation. When students are on campus, teachers use Smart Board technology to actively engage students, in addition, technology will be a dynamic force during the weekday distance learning part of our program.
iLearn requires a two-day commitment:
While technology is integral to iLearn, fostering a learning community will be of paramount importance. The Sunday program is instrumental to our School. We feel it gives the students the face-to-face interaction we feel necessary to developing relationships and community. In addition, they will have the opportunity to be with other Religious School students (younger and older), participate in huggim (activities), and pray in services led by our song leader and rabbi.
