At RHA, Israel is not just a subject.
It's integrated into everything we
teach. In Judaic studies, students
learn about the history of Israel. In
social studies, our children learn
about Israel's geography. In math,
we teach about Israel's
economic realities. In
language arts, kids
get a glimpse of
Israeli culture.
Fourth graders are
particularly focused
on Jerusalem and
parents are part of a
deeply moving tribute
to our holiest city.

Kidblog allows students to
share their work with their
classmates who then offer
constructive feedback on
it. Not only does blogging
offer a digital approach
to collaboration, it
ensures that the
conversation
continues outside
the classroom.

Grade 4 students take a road trip
across Canada. The catch? They are
not allowed to leave the classroom.
The students work together to co-
ordinate destinations, routes and
modes of transportation. Using an
app called Marvel, the students plan
a 30-day adventure that has
them using math and
graphing skills to
get where they are
going – on time and
on budget.

RHA is a sports school. In
a single year, we won the
Jewish Day School Basketball
Tournament. Grade 4 students
came in 1st and 2nd in cross-
country running. And we placed
2nd in our hockey league. In
soccer, our fourth grade girls
took home the gold. If your
child is an athlete, we have
plenty to offer.
