The Religious School
The School at Temple Beth Am strives to meet the challenge of creating literate youths with positive identities as Reform Jews. Our program is seeing continuous improvement and our students are involved in the learning process in such a way that one can feel their "ruach" (spirit) and joy in the hallways.
 
SECONDARY

Grades 7-8
Meet each Monday 4-6pm. (Those students preparing for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah continue to meet with the Cantor on Thursdays.) Both grades take a required class for the first hour and then can choose an elective for the second. Electives change yearly but may include: Arab/Israeli wars, conversational Hebrew, Drama, Jewish in Sports, Jewish Humor and the like.
