Madregot Program: Transitioning to Schechter After Kindergarten
Stepping Up to a Jewish Education
The Madregot Program is designed for new students applying to Schechter in Grades 1-8. The program varies at each grade level, offering academic support in Hebrew language. The Madregot Program also helps new students develop a sense of belonging and create friendships to ensure a successful social transition.
Families are invited to visit Schechter for a tour and interview. As part of the admission process, prospective transfer students spend a day at Schechter shadowing a grade-level Schechter buddy and experiencing a vibrant, energetic typical school day. During this visit, prospective students are assessed by one of our faculty members in general and Judaic studies.
New students in Grades 1-8 come to Schechter with a wide range of academic backgrounds, general and Judaic. We are thrilled to offer differentiated instruction that opens doors to Schechter's unique combination of a rich Judaic studies and unparalleled general studies program.
| "When I came to Schechter in 6th grade, I was nervous because I didn’t know anyone. The moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I’d fit in right away because the kids treated me like family. Schechter has become my second home." - Ben Schwartz '14 |
