Middle School at Pardes

Rigor does not mean harder. It means smarter.

Blended groups, project-based learning, and self-directed growth, so every student is challenged and supported at exactly the right level.

Academics

Rigorous. Applied. Real.

Math, science, ELA, and social studies taught through blended instructional groups and applied, project-based learning.

Students are assessed with NWEA MAP Growth twice a year. Each student gets a laptop and learns to use technology wisely, including age-appropriate AI literacy.

Every student is challenged at the right level.

Students learning Torah together with their rebbe Chabad values

Torah, Chumash, identity

Old text, real questions.

Torah, Chumash, Hebrew language, Gemara, and Jewish philosophy, rooted in Chabad values.

Students daven together each morning and explore ethical questions through deep discussion. Jewish identity here is something students appreciate and make their own.

Judaism is not a subject. It is how we live.
