Our Primary School curriculum combines General Studies, Judaic Studies and Hebrew Immersion through a child-centered and cross-curricular approach to learning. We follow the Montessori method — including the use of Montessori materials — combined with use of New York State Standards and Developmentally Appropriate Practices.
We are a preschool designed around your family, in a community where your family belongs. Luria’s Primary School offers the following scheduling options:
Lower School Overview
Luria’s Lower School holds Kindergarten through 3rd grade, and is divided into four classrooms. 5-7 Year 1 and 5-7 Year 2 are our Kindergarten and 1st grade equivalents and the 7-9 Year 1 and 7-9 Year 2 are our 2nd and 3rd grade equivalents.
All of our Lower School Classes are taught by dedicated teaching teams of at least four full-time teachers. One teacher’s primary responsibility is General Studies, one is Judaic studies, one is Hebrew language, literacy, and culture, and one is an associate teacher. Topics such as social emotional learning as well as units in science, history, and geography are shared by all teachers.
The children also have Specials each week — music, art, and physical education — with our Specials teachers. Each Lower School class walks to our Upper School building for these classes, allowing them to grow familiar with our entire campus.
