Typically defined, curriculum is a subject taught or a syllabus covered. We think of curriculum as what teachers teach and which courses students take. While these definitions suffice at a typical school, we know that The Emery/Weiner School is anything but typical!
As such, our curriculum mirrors the definition offered by John Kerr. We view curriculum as “all the learning, which is planned and guided by the school, whether it is carried out in groups or individually, inside or outside the school.”
In the classroom, students are intellectually motivated and challenged through rigorous 6-12th grade coursework, as reflected in the curricular information found on this website. Well beyond the walls of the classroom, students engage in learning through their participation in Kallah and Ma’amad, outdoor and culture trips, athletic competitions and fine arts contests, community service, and countless other experiential opportunities.
As a staff, we are guided by our mission: “To educate and develop students whose intellect, moral character and Jewish identity provide a lifelong foundation for personal growth, commitment to the Jewish people and Tikkun Olam—improving the world in which we live.” We invite you to explore the incredible learning opportunities that await your child.
