Message from the Director
Welcome to the Religious School and Center for Youth Engagement (CYE) at Stephen S. Wise Temple where the paths to living and doing Judaism intersect in exciting, innovative, and creative ways.
You will find in our school a deep commitment to experiential learning and innovative instruction using multiple teaching modalities and techniques.
We are an inclusive environment welcoming families of all backgrounds who share our passion and love for Jewish living, learning, and values.
Our school supports and nurtures a deep sense of community through the core Jewish values of Torah, Avodah (the labor of serving God and the Jewish people with joy) and Gemilut Hasadim, (acts of loving kindness.)
Our goal for our children is to foster in them a positive Jewish identity, develop amongst them a strong sense of community, and help each of them find a spiritual sanctuary inside our beautiful Temple home. We will do this by nourishing their souls with vibrant and engaging programs designed to grow them into the kind and caring human beings our Jewish tradition inspires.
Our doors are always open and you are always welcome.
Andrea Gardenhour
