Dear YHT Families,

Welcome to the YHT Summer Scholars page.

Due to overwhelming feedback from our parent survey we will be offering optional Zoom courses this summer for YHT students entering kindergarten through 6th grade. Parents can select one or multiple courses. Courses will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (except for Tisha B'Av, when there will be class on Friday instead of Thursday) for 8 weeks beginning July 7. Classes will be in the mornings, per the feedback we received. As we are offering these courses as a service to YHT parents they will be priced as close to cost as possible.

Looking forward to a great summer together!

Mr. Brandon Melendez, YHT Summer Course Director

Read This Before Signing Up

We'll fill courses on a first-come-first-serve basis and will only run a course if it has at least 8 students enrolled. We're capping courses at 14 students to make sure this is as enriching as possible for students. If a class doesn't run, payment will be reversed back to your credit card. We'll notify you by July 3, but hopefully sooner, whether your child is enrolled in a course.

Registration is for 8 weeks of courses, running Tuesday-Thursday of each week (except for the week of Tisha B'Av -- Thursday, July 30 -- when there will be courses on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday instead). Courses begin Tuesday, July 7.

Going Into Kindergarten

Nursery Skill Review / Morah Chelsea Daniel / 8:40-9:20AM

In this course, we will review all of the skills that we learned in nursery to make sure we're ready for kindergarten. We will start each day with some tefilla before jumping into a review of letters, letter sound, lowercase letters, numbers 1-20, and addition and subtraction. We will also spend time discussing our feelings and socializing with one another. Please note that this class will be capped at 10 students.
