Judaic Curriculum:
At Cheder Chabad, our Talmidim are embraced in a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment, where every child is valued as a unique soul. We focus on the whole child, guiding each student to grow and flourish על פי דרכו, while fostering a love for learning, a sense of joy in coming to Cheder, and confidence that his emotional, spiritual, and academic needs are met. Our foremost goal is to instill in our Talmidim יראת שמים, Chassidishe values, a heartfelt love for Hashem, and a lifelong commitment to Torah and Mitzvos.
Our Kodesh curriculum is thoughtfully structured to build strong foundations and lifelong skills. In Kindergarten, we emphasize Kriah mastery, and by year’s end, the boys proudly receive their siddur. In Kitah Aleph, they develop pre-Chumash skills and receive their Chumash, gaining the confidence to read and comprehend pesukim. Starting in Kitah Gimel, the boys learn Mishnayos, progressing to Gemara in fifth grade. Throughout, we focus on developing independent, confident learners who are equipped to grow as committed Torah Yidden.
Beyond textual learning, we inspire our Talmidim to connect deeply with Chassidus and the teachings of the Rebbe through Tanya, Likkutei Sichos, maamarim, and joyous Chassidishe farbrengens, helping each child feel a genuine connection as a Chossid. We also emphasize practical Chassidishe living through initiatives such as Yomei Depargra, Torah Baal Peh, and other campaigns, nurturing both character and heartfelt spiritual growth.
General Studies Curriculum:
In the Boys’ Department, our General Studies program is thoughtfully designed to provide students with the key foundational knowledge and essential skills they need to grow, succeed, and thrive. Every part of our curriculum is carefully selected through a Yiddishe lens, ensuring that our high Chassidishe standards are upheld throughout the entire day.
In the early elementary years, we use the Starlight Curriculum to build strong foundations in letter recognition, phonemic awareness, reading comprehension, and early literacy development. Teachers also incorporate a variety of hands-on manipulatives and supplemental materials to strengthen vocabulary, spelling, and language skills, helping each child develop these crucial abilities in an engaging and meaningful way.
Beginning in 4th grade, students learn from World of Literacy and Toras Reb Kalman, two programs that each offer a unique and enriching approach to learning. These curricula expose students to engaging content in history, important facts, middos, and more, while continuing to support strong literacy growth.
We are also excited to introduce the ICount Method to our math curriculum for grades K–3 in the coming year. Our older students currently use Spectrum Math, which provides a strong framework for continued growth, skill-building, and mastery.
In addition, we take a true hands-on approach to STEM education and are excited to continue growing and expanding these opportunities in the coming year.
