Curriculum Scope and Sequence

Excellence is the standard at JDS.

Our Rigorous Secular Curriculum
The Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley offers a general studies program that promotes excellence in liberal arts as well as the sciences. Our Jewish values drive this pursuit of secular pre-eminence; we believe that learning about our world will create well-rounded Jewish people. Toward this end we continually refine our curriculum to ensure that our students receive the best possible all-around education. Our ERB standardized-test scores testify to the quality of our curriculum; measured against private schools as well as public, both urban and rural, our students' grades are consistently among the best. Our children continue on to fine high schools, and eventually to top-flight colleges and graduate schools.

Our rigorous academic curriculum meets all of the Pennsylvania and National standards and benchmarks and surpasses these state and national requirements. Students at the Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley are afforded a stellar educational experience. The Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley uses a "ladder approach" to building a solid education, meaning each year builds upon what was learned the previous year. Our small class sizes and individualized attention allow teachers to meet the needs and abilities of our students and tailor educational programs and curricula as appropriate.
