Desert Torah Academy provides classes for K through 8th Grade students. Our program includes low student-teacher ratio and an intense Judaic and General Studies curriculum. Each of our teachers and faculty are fully qualified. Their experience and dedications, patience and creativity combine to create a rewarding school experience for our children. Through a well-balanced religious and secular education, our children will be capable of functioning in American society as dedicated Jewish men and women, emotionally, academically, socially and spiritually. We strive to instill intellectual curiosity, achieve the highest level possible for each child, encourage full participation in American culture, prepare our children to meet the challenge of contemporary life, teach ethical and moral values, and educate students in Jewish traditions and observances. Our vision is to provide a dynamic academic and spiritual education program in an extended family atmosphere. ...read more
