Middle School

Designed to maximize academic, cultural, and social opportunities.

Reich Hebrew Academy Middle School curriculum was developed after years of extensive research and is based on models of excellence. Electives and enrichment programs reflect the interests of adolescents and are designed to maximize academic, cultural and social opportunities.

Students benefit from the many advantages that a small school offers while enjoying programs with students in other schools. Inter-school programs (involving private and public schools) enrich the students’ experiences without sacrificing the daily, personal attention so vital to maximizing every student’s potential.
