Intergration

Integration is a central component of the Chicago Jewish Day School curriculum. Integrated learning is when children broadly explore knowledge in various subjects as they relate to a certain theme. At Chicago Jewish Day School we strive to integrate all of the curricular disciplines such as the humanities, communication arts, natural sciences, mathematics, social studies, music, art, and physical education. Judaic Studies and Hebrew are integrated throughout all of these disciplines in meaningful and authentic ways. This holistic approach to learning reflects the real world, which is interactive, and promotes lifelong learning.

We love the 1st grade unit on the Marine World in which the kids use technology to research sea animals, writing to create letters to President Obama about the importance of protecting our oceans, and Hebrew/Judaic Studies to learn Hebrew vocabulary and prayers for protecting our environment.
