Kadima teaches
student to think critically, to
learn dynamically, to discover a sense of self, and ultimately, to learn what
it means to be a “Global Jewish citizen”.
Our integrated curriculum combines academic excellence and values
education with spiritual meaning and religious observance, and our students
become leaders rather than followers, and to love and support Medinat Yisrael
and its people.
This summer, our
focus and commitment have been rewarded as we have seen a dramatic student
growth at our foundation. Our
Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) directed by Randi Riddle, will grow more than 20% this year, with three four year-old classes. In order to accommodate this growth, our Elementary Art Room
has been transformed into our newest ECEC classroom. Not only is it wonderful to see our ECEC grow, but the pool
of four-year-olds is our best source of Kindergarten and elementary school
students. Once people experience
the Kadima community, they often-times see the direct and significant benefit
to their children, and then choose to keep them at Kadima throughout their
elementary and middle school years.
In addition, for the
first time in more than a decade our Elementary School has grown so that we
will have two Kindergarten classes and two first grade classes this fall. What a fantastic achievement for our
community! The vision of our Board
of Trustees is to grow our Elementary School, and our middle school, so that we
become a “two track” educational
program, thereby offering even greater social and community opportunities.
The Kadima
Technology program has continued on the “cutting edge” in our Middle
School. This year, our Technology
team has determined that it is time to transform our Middle School Technology
program to the IPAD. And so, each
of our Middle School students will receive an IPAD this year, loaded with at
least two of our core textbooks on the device. Our students will learn to use the IPAD as a communications
and learning tool, and we are confident that this one-to-one IPAD program will
be tremendous success.
