AKIBA HIGH (8TH-12TH GRADE)

We have been working to refine our 8-12th grade Akiba High program to create a meaningful Jewish experience that connects our children to each other and the tensions of their everyday lives that are so important at this stage.   This year’s program will focus on mindfulness through the Jewish lens, which we believe will help better connect our teens to themselves and their Jewish peers.   

 “Who am I? Mind, body, and soul, link our teens with mindfulness, a simple and powerful tool that can be taught to children of all ages to support self-awareness, stress reduction, focus, and self-regulation. The underlying skill of mindfulness practice is to bring non-judgmental awareness to the present moment which can be done through conscious observation of the senses, thoughts, or of emotions.”
