B'nai Shalom's Lower School is dedicated to recognizing and honoring the unique developmental pace and individuality of each child. Our nurturing teachers appreciate the whole child, offering opportunities for holistic growth through a diverse range of classes including art, music, physical education, technology, library science, dramatic arts, and social-emotional learning.

Our students are immersed in Hebrew as a living language and experience Judaism as an integral and joyful part of their daily lives. Students participate in Havdalah every Monday and engage in traditional morning services, Egalitarian services, and Torah services, culminating at the end of the week with Kabbalat Shabbat. Students acquire synagogue skills and learn to lead services on their own, as well as learn how to read from the Torah.

Collaboration and meaningful communication among our teachers enrich the learning process throughout the year and ensure smooth transitions from one grade to the next. Our students regularly engage in multi-age activities where we see a deep understanding of their role in the school community unfold. We believe in a strong home to school partnership as each child progresses through Lower School to support their individual growth and development. This partnership fosters a nurturing environment where students feel valued and supported, promoting academic excellence and personal well-being. By working closely with families, we create a cohesive support system that addresses each student's unique needs and encourages a lifelong love of learning. Together, we build a foundation that prepares our students for future academic challenges and successes.
