At Shorashim Hebrew Academy, we believe that every child has unique strengths and the ability to thrive with the right support. Our Special Education Department is dedicated to providing tailored, compassionate services that empower students with diverse learning needs to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally.
We offer a wide range of individualized services, including IEP (Individualized Education Program) support, targeted interventions, one-on-one and small-group instruction, and classroom accommodations. Our experienced special education professionals collaborate closely with general education teachers, parents, and specialists to design programs that address each student’s specific goals and challenges.
Our philosophy centers around inclusion. We strive to integrate students into mainstream classrooms whenever possible while ensuring they receive the support they need to succeed. Our team fosters a nurturing environment where students feel confident, capable, and proud of their progress.
Our staff also works closely with families to provide consistent communication, resources, and advocacy. We understand that navigating special education can be complex, and we are here to guide parents every step of the way. Together, we build strong partnerships focused on student growth and long-term success.
By investing in every child’s potential and meeting them where they are, Shorashim’s Special Education Department embodies our core values of compassion, equity, and excellence in Jewish education.
