The classroom environment encourages students to explore new ideas, practice new skills, be kind to one another and treat each other with respect. Technology is woven into all aspects of the curriculum, ensuring that students become proficient in a variety of programs and research methods. Art, Music, and Physical Education classes complement and enhance the students’ experience at school.

Gross Schechter’s general studies curriculum is based on the new Common Core Standards of the State of Ohio, consisting of Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies and Science, using a variety of explorations to ignite their learning. In our Judaic Studies classes, the students are exposed to Hebrew as a living language and Judaism as a vibrant part of their daily lives. Students learn to speak, read and write Hebrew, study Torah, engage in tefillah (prayers) and learn about the Jewish holidays while developing strong emotional ties to Israel and a sense of pride in being Jewish.
