Students learn through songs and prayers, classroom collaboration, creative play, and project-based work.

They dig into Jewish holidays, Torah stories, Jewish history, and Israel, all under the umbrella of putting Jewish values to work in daily life. Everyone meets in person at PCS on Sunday mornings.

And they have fun. That part is not incidental.
