Do you live too far from a religious school for

 your 

child to be educated in a classroom environment?

Or are you unsatisfied with

 your child's current

 religious school education?

Do you miss parental involvement in your child's 

Jewish learning? 

Do the fights over conflicting activities and 

carpooling 

drive you crazy?

Does your child like learning via the computer?

Introducing the world's first and only internet

 based

Hebrew school, 

for children ages 8-13. This program utilizes 

information

available on the web, plus much of our own creation,

in a curriculum organized by us. 

It assumes parent-child

engagement and cooperation in the learning process, 

as they work through

the material.

-The latest direction in Jew

-The secular university is moving mucish education is geared 

toward family involvement. h more in the 

direction of independent 

learning as well as learning via the web. 

This article from the Chicago tribune

recently helps explain:"one theme is a shift from a 

passive model of 

absorbing a lecturer's words to a more active one 

where lecturers guide 

and measure, but students learn the material more 

independently.

"In a traditional course the faculty are doing 

all the 

work and the students 

are watching," said Carol Twigg, president and CEO of the National Center

for Academic Transformation, which is working with hundreds of universities

 to improve giant courses. "In a redesigned course, 

students are doing the 

work and faculty are stepping in as needed."

Our programs is based on students learning under parent

 supervision, 

outside of the traditional classroom, with support of a 

teacher and tutor available to assist.

-We also take advantage of the revolution in communication-the resources 

on the web, as well as the prolific Jewish educational 

resources our Rabbi has 
created on the web.
We are also cognizant of the overwhelming challenges 
families today
 face in juggling all the family needs. This program 
allows the student and parents to work at 
their timetable and largely avoids the need to shlep. 
 
-At the same time, there appears to be less family 
interactive activities today, and especially 
centered around Jewish living. Many parents did not grow 
up Jewishly or had very little Jewish
 educations, so this will acheive multiple benefits.
 This wil prove beneficial on both counts.
-Most importantly, evidence seems clear that 
standard 
religious schools in 
their current format, achieve little, and may even be 
counter productive. This view enjoys wide support 
among Jewish educators. We believe childfren will learn
 and retain more, and enjoy it more since it means 
more parent time and, 
interaction, uses a "cool" medium, and can be done at
 the families discretion 
time-wise, obviating many conflicts.
