Elementary School | Margolin Hebrew Academy

GRADES 1–8

BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR LIFE

Children learn best when they feel safe and happy. Margolin Hebrew Academy provides a warm, safe environment where young minds grow, explore, and discover their potential through a rigorous dual curriculum.

Students in grades 1 through 8 participate in our dual-program curriculum, spending half of each school day immersed in Judaic topics and Ivrit, and the other half in traditional general studies — math, science, writing, and more. Our program is designed to meet the diverse needs and interests of all students.

Our teachers love kids. Instructional planning is guided by a philosophy that fosters all facets of a growing child: social, emotional, and academic. We also maintain a strong focus on anti-bullying, digital citizenship, and life skills through both formal and informal curricula.
