Judaic Studies
It's much more than an education. . . it's a way of life

Judaic studies at Kellman Brown are so well-integrated into the daily curriculum that students do not require after school or Sunday religious classes. Children are given the tools and education to make informed choices about how to live a Jewish life. Students embrace the study, responsibilities and joys of Judaism with enthusiasm. They develop a strong sense of Jewish identity and pride to carry with them the rest of their lives.

It's the special combination of a comprehensive Jewish education and superior secular academic program that produces tomorrow's committed Jews, scholars, and professionals. What truly sets Kellman apart is the emphasis placed on Jewish values and responsibility. We all want our children to be exceptional students and decent human beings.

With the pursuit of academic excellence also come the lessons of mitzvot . Children go out of their way to cheer a sick friend. They enthusiastically collect food and other staple items for the homeless and the Ronald MacDonald House, and make regular visits to the Jewish Geriatric Home. Through these and other mitzvot projects the children discover the joy and value of helping others.

Yes, Kellman Brown provides and outstanding academic program - and when you add the dimension of Judaic studies, it's much more than an education. . . it's a way of life.
