parents watch in wonder as
their children walk with the
Torah, lead in prayer and
celebrate the gift of Tanakh.

Students spend two days at a nearby
camp on an adventure that teaches
leadership and builds spirit. The kids
participate in survival exercises, work
in teams to build fires
and put up tents and
navigate the outdoors.
It's an experience that
sets the right tone for
Middle School. "We've
always been friends,"
says Cooper, a Middle
School student. "But
after this trip, we feel
more like a family."

Each year, RHA classes take on a STEM
mini-challenge. In sixth grade, it's all
about robotics. To the amazement of
parents, the students program their
robot to navigate the area of a triangle
drawn on paper. Our classes twin with a
school in Eilat to tackle the challenge,
bringing different perspectives and
teamwork from across the world.

In Arts Block, students study visual art, stop
motion, coding and drama. In the music
rotation, students learn drums and ukulele.
That's because drumming enhances problem
solving, and rhythm strengthens visual,
auditory and motor brain function. Ukulele
combines the linguistic and mathematical
precision of the left brain with the creative
capacity of the right.
Kids also learn to write
music which improves
memory, reduces stress
and even increases
overall grade average.
Now that is something to
sing about.
