COMMUNITY SERVICES Hebrew Academy Jewish Community Center Eleanor Weinglass, Director 1006 Sardis Lane Charlotte. N.C. 28211 As Charlotte’s Jewish day school since 1970, the Academy has provided an excellent academic program in both general and Judaic studies to children from Conservative, Reform and unaffiliated families. The community, in turn, supports the Academy in many ways, participating in its cultural events and giving generous finan cial aid. Such support enables the Academy to give full and partial scholarships to children who otherwise would be denied intensive Jewish education. y/BLTm, Personalized Learning The Academy offers a child kindergarten through sixth grade special educational advantages in all areas of study. A low stu dent/teacher ratio enables the faculty to create a learning at mosphere that is warm, personalized and highly motivating. Within a specific curriculum and with close teacher supervision, the children learn how to learn and experience achievement. Annual standardized tests show the students perform, on the average, one to two years above grade level. Where Children Feel Good To Be Jews Every Day Attitude is considered as important as accomplishment and this is most evident in Hebrew and Jewish studies. At the Academy, a child finds his or her Jewishness pleasantly integrated into normal daily activities. Hebrew Bible, history and rituals are learned when children are most alert: after school hours are then free to be spent in less demanding activities. The day school children acquire a strong, positive sense of Jewish identity and are comfortable expressing it in the larger com munity. With a solid grounding in Jewish basics, the students will be ready for more challenging Jewish learning in the intellectually formative years of high school and college. Accreditation The Hebrew Academy is approved by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, is affilitated with the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges and has received a permanent charter from the Solomon Schechter Day School Association of the United Synagogue. Information may be obtained by calling the school, (7041 366-6390. Harold Cohen. Executive Director 600 N. Sharon Amity Rd. Charlotte.
