Our Village at Beth Adam
Summary
Our Village takes a learner-centered approach (Design Principle 6) in everything they do. Learners’ questions and concerns are the starting place for each lesson and faculty engage in comprehensive training to support this orientation. An essential component of this approach is the development of deep relationships throughout the learning community (Design Principle 5). This community is unabashedly welcoming of all learners and families (Design Principle 3). As a result, students develop life skills to become change-makers and social justice advocates through the lens of Jewish history, thought, and practice. Our Village also frequently engages parents to join their children in learning experiences both at the synagogue and at home. (Design Principle 1)
