Dalet School
About the School
- Dalet School is a non-profit religious school located in Bethel, Pennsylvania.
- Dalet School was founded in 1976 by the Assemblies of Yahweh to keep the children of the members out of the worldly school system.
- Dalet School teaches the basics of education while maintaining a spiritual atmosphere.
- The Dalet, the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, portrayed above, symbolizes an open door.
- Revelation 3:7-8 states, "An open door which none can shut." Therefore, Dalet School is often thought of as an open door of opportunity.
- Directing Elder Jacob O. Meyer is the chief administrator of this wonderful school.
- Deacon Raymond Shaparenko is the Acting Principal and head teacher of Dalet School.
- Deacon Shaparenko teaches all subjects from K-12 except for a few select classes taught by his assistants.
- Dalet School consists of two one-room buildings.
- One for grades K-6, the other for grades 7-12.
- In the one-room classroom setting, as each student studies he can acquire an idea of what his future classes will be like and can also review the classes he has previously had.
- The most rewarding part of a Dalet School education is that the children will grow in their obedience to Almighty Yahweh.
