Mercaz Aliyah at Temple Aliyah

Mercaz Aliyah at Temple Aliyah Mercaz Aliyah provides a comprehensive K-7 Conservative Jewish education in a positive, inclusive and creative environment at Temple Aliyah.

Temple Aliyah’s Religious School is an inclusive environment, where students with a variety of abilities, learning styles and needs can access a dynamic and engaging Jewish educational experience in an environment that is respectful and supportive of individual differences. We are currently offering in person programming on Sundays and Mondays with additional elective options on Thursdays. Some st

udents choose Thursdays instead of Mondays if that works better for their schedule. If a student has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or receives any accommodation in public school we ask that you share this information with the Director of Education so that we can work with you and the classroom teacher to make any necessary accommodations for your child. Needham educator Marion Green taught Hebrew reading in our school for many years. All of our educators are trained in Marion Green’s mnemonic system for teaching Hebrew reading. Although originally designed specifically for students with reading challenges, we believe that all students benefit from Marion’s program. Additionally, our educators are trained in The Responsive Classroom Behavior Management Program, the same program used in the Needham Public Schools. This is helpful to students as behavioral expectations, classroom routines and norms of social interactions at public school and religious school share a common language. All of our classrooms have a Lead Teacher and an Assistant Teacher, Teaching Aide or Madrich (teen assistant). Having two teachers in a classroom allows for individualization of assignments, small group instruction and more personal attention for each student. In addition, this means that students do not need to be taken out of their classroom to receive academic or social support. Instead, our goal is to meet the needs of each student within the classroom environment.
