Providing an innovative Jewish education to students from
Torah Tots to B'nei Mitzvah and Beyond
WHO WE ARE
TKARS is committed to cultivating our students' Jewish education. We embrace a hands on approach to learning by customizing our curriculum to meet the needs of our students. We're excited to announce that we will be back in person for the 2021-2022 school year.
TKARS is proud to be serving the greater York County and South Charlotte areas to provide an innovative Jewish Education to students from Torah Tots to B'nei Mitzvah and beyond. We are a Religious School for all students regardless of observance or affiliation.
WHAT WE DO
Our students meet once per week on Sundays from 10am-12pm. Our school calendar is listed below. New for 2021 our Torah Tots students will meet twice per month. We engage students in Jewish curriculum topics ranging from Torah, holidays, mitzvot, Jewish values and Jewish history through varied activities such as drama, arts and crafts, technology and debate.
Hebrew is taught with the primary objective of reading fluency. Beginning in our Aleph classroom, we teach the students the skills they need to prepare for their bar/bat mitzvah
