About | Tenafly Chabad Academy

הסיפור שלנו

הסיפור שלנו בית הספר חב״ד טנאפלי נוסד בשנת 1997 מתוך מטרה פשוטה להעניק חינוך יהודי לכל ילדי האזור. בית הספר החל את דרכו עם שלוש כיתות בלבד. עד מהרה התפשטה השמועה על בית ספר חם ואוהב, המציע גם רמה לימודית גבוהה, וקבוצת הורים פנתה בבקשה להרחיב את הפעילות.

במהלך 20 השנים שלאחר מכן, ליובאוויטש על הפאליסיידס המשיכה לצמוח ולהתרחב, ולפתוח את זרועותיה בפני משפחות המחפשות את הייחודיות והערכים המיוחדים שיש לה להציע.

כיום, בית הספר הוא ביתם של למעלה מ־300 תלמידים, מגיל שלושה חודשים ועד כיתה ח׳. התוכניות שלנו כוללות מעון יום, גן ילדים, בית ספר יסודי וחטיבת ביניים.

המשימה שלנו

המשימה שלנו היא להעניק לכל תלמיד ותלמידה חינוך מצוין ואיכותי. אנו עושים זאת באמצעות גישות חינוכיות חדשניות ומתקדמות, המותאמות לצרכים הייחודיים של כל תלמיד, בסביבה חמה, תומכת ומטפחת, המעניקה מקום מרכזי לערכים יהודיים ולהתפתחות אישית.
