MISSION:
At Luria Academy of Brooklyn, we are inspiring a new generation of leaders, creators,thinkers and engaged citizens. Through our individualized approach to learning andcommitment to diversity as a core value, our students graduate with a deep love oflearning, strong sense of self, and a passion to repair a fractured world.
Luria is a progressive interpretation of the yeshiva day school. Our commitment toJewish values, intensive text study, and Hebrew language immersion gives children deep roots. Through our uniquely integrated curriculum and Montessori-based materials, we foster exploration and discovery, developing creative, critical, and analytical thinkers. By challenging students at their own individual level and nurturing social-emotional growth, our exceptional faculty guides each child towards academic excellence and their true potential. We embrace our religious and educational differences and teach our students to engage in respectful dialogue, creating a cultural mosaic reflective of our community and the world.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY:
Progressive education and academic rigor are key principles that guide our educational practice. At Luria, progressive education is not a term we use to place ourselves in a trending direction. Rather, it is a deep commitment to the ongoing and challenging work of training teachers, onboarding families, and building excellent classrooms where learning is as alive as it is challenging.
All teaching teams at Luria include one native Hebrew speaker who immerses the students in Hebrew language on a daily basis. Our Hebrew staff teach a daily "mifgash ivrit" or Hebrew meeting, which consists of systematic and intentional exposure to vocabulary that is relevant to daily classroom routines. In addition to imparting meaningful curriculum, Hebrew teachers speak only Hebrew to the students all day long, eventually eliciting expressive language from the students. In addition, Hebrew teachers in elementary school teach specific units from our general and Judaic studies departments for children whose language skills are strong enough for the challenge.
Judaic Studies at Luria is at the heart of our identity. Luria commits to its students and their families that children will graduate with strong text skills that will give them access to our ancient texts in their original form. In addition, our lessons are designed to be both intellectually rigorous and profoundly meaningful, so that children can use Torah as a voice that continues to support them throughout their lives.
COMMUNITY:
We believe that building intentional community starts with dedicated opportunities for parental involvement. We encourage our parents to actively participate in life at Luria;to volunteer for various jobs and maintain open lines ofcommunication with staff members. There are many instances in which parent volunteers greatly enhance the experience of our students.
