Curriculum My favorite year was definitely 8th grade. We got to have speakers who have been all over the world, from Rwanda to India.” – Michael, Class of 2006

As a toolkit for living fully in an interfaith family, the Family School curriculum is designed to foster a religio-cultural literacy for understanding the similarities and differences between Judaism and Catholic Christianity. Students examine the core Judeo-Christian values and ethics implied in our religions’ mutual calls for Tikkun Olam (“Healing the World”) and Building the Kingdom of God.
