About Religious School at TAE Our mission is to build connections, develop community, instill Jewish values, and teach students how to read and recite Jewish prayers with confidence and meaning. At TAE, Religious School is more than a classroom—it’s a community.
Temple Adat Elohim’s (TAE) Religious School is a welcoming, inclusive space where students grow through engaging Jewish learning, community connections, and joyful celebration.
Our program serves students from PreK/TK through 12th grade.
A Warm, Inclusive Community
We believe that learning flourishes in an environment where every child feels seen and supported. Our community encourages meaningful relationships among students, families, and staff—creating bonds that enrich our collective experience and extend far beyond the classroom.
A Dynamic and Evolving Curriculum
Under the leadership of our new Director of K–12 Education and Engagement, Camryn Kruger, the 2025–2026 school year features a reimagined curriculum that evolves with your child.
Our educational approach emphasizes:
- Developmentally aligned learning across all grade levels
- Experiential education in Jewish Studies and Hebrew
- Personalized learning experiences that meet each student’s unique needs
Living Our Jewish Values
Our curriculum integrates Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Chesed (acts of kindness) into weekly learning.
Students will:
- Participate in hands-on projects that reflect these values
- Bring Jewish teachings to life through meaningful, real-world applications
- Connect tradition with action, developing a deeper sense of purpose and identity
Exciting New and Continuing Programs
We’re proud to introduce new initiatives while continuing beloved traditions:
- Teen Tuesday (Grades 8–12): A new weekly program combining informal education, creative and athletic electives, leadership development, and a catered dinner.
- Celebration Circles (Kindergarten–2nd Grade): Family-inclusive experiences that create shared joy and reinforce Jewish identity.
- Adah Groups (Grades 3 and up): Peer-based cohorts designed to build friendships and community that last for years.

We invite your family to be a part of a program that nurtures identity, fosters connection, and inspires Jewish living in every generation.
