Aleph Academy recognizes and respects the unique qualities of each child. In their quest for wisdom, understanding and knowledge, our school’s primary mission is to foster a love for life long learning in our students. The curriculum skillfully weaves artistic and academic disciplines, along with Jewish values, into everyday activities. Students learn to follow their curiosity, to think creatively, and to work both independently and cooperatively with others.

 

At Aleph Academy our goal is to create a vibrant community of children, teachers and families. We promote an environment of rich learning experiences which our name, Aleph, reflects. As the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, it signifies both the concepts of connection and potential, giving children the best opportunities to succeed.

 

PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM

Aleph signifies both the concepts of connection and potential. Connection to Jewish values, our environment and larger community and the potential of every child to become an active, engaged learner. Using an “arts” based approach, Aleph Academy teachers engage children in activities focused on relationships and inquiry. The environment has been designed to support rich learning experiences and social-emotional growth. As an emergent, Reggio inspired curriculum in which Jewish values form the backdrop, the learning topics become negotiated between children and teachers. After careful observation and reflection, teachers offer additional
materials and continually challenge children to go deeper with their learning. Documentation is used to demonstrate how our curriculum meets or exceeds Nevada State standards. They can be found at the Nevada Department of Education Web Site

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

 

Aleph Academy's goal is that each child will reach their full potential in a distinctly progressive learning environment. By creating a community of learners and exposing our children to the arts and technology, we strive to inspire excellence in every student. The mixed age learning environment mimics "real life" and allows for a challenging classroom setting. Our goal is to provide a learning experience that develops the whole child, helping them grow intellectually, emotionally, creatively, physically and spiritually.
