Shaharit, Prayer, and Reflective Practice Options for Every Student
Our students mirror the world with their wide range of religious backgrounds and observances, from traditional and ritual to cultural and secular.
Shaharit, daily prayer and observance practices, are designed to have a place for everyone.
Students meet several times per week to observe traditional Shaharit or the personal observance option that fits them and their family. With three trimesters in the year, students have three opportunities to explore different levels and methods of observance and find the ones that are right for them.
