Shalem is a warm and loving environment where each person, young and old alike, is respected and valued for their unique gifts. Our program focuses on the development of the mind, body and soul in a safe, nurturing environment that offers opportunities for exploration and discovery. Our activities are created to match each student’s developmental stage, while giving special focus on the process and pleasure of discovery, not just the final product.

Grades TK-8th
The Academy of the Arts, the flagship school of the JCC, provides individualized education for each and every child infusing them with a love for lifelong learning, character building, companionship, empathy, and courageous leadership.

The Academy prepares children to be inquisitive learners and team players with a love for Jewish traditions and values.

Our students’ families become a part of a nurturing, warm and giving community and extended family providing them with a sense of belonging, security, Jewish identity and pride.

The Blessing Exchange offers our students and their families service learning and volunteer opportunities!
