With experiential learning at its core, B’nai Shalom not only provides students with an academically challenging and rich curriculum, but also facilitates the building character, values, and kindness. BSDS helps students grow through experiences and through learning that failure is okay and by building leadership skills and applying those skills to a child’s day-to-day activities. Students are taught advocacy skills and how to advocate for what’s right and also learn about being active community members. All of these philosophies build character, values, and kindness. This is the very definition of a mensch.
Each student in grades K-8 will create a capstone project based on a central theme. Students will also be given more opportunities for learning beyond the classroom which will include field trips and service learning projects.
