Hebrew is not just another language. It’s the language of our ancestors and the Torah. In Hebrew, each letter holds its unique meaning and depth, and must therefore be explored.
At CKids of Charlotte, we believe that learning Hebrew will strengthen one’s Jewish pride, knowledge base, and social-confidence. Every week at Hebrew School, we reserve twenty minutes to focus on our Hebrew progression.
Using the highly acclaimed Aleph Champ curriculum, students learn at their own pace with success as their motivation. Today, Aleph Champ is on the cutting edge of Hebrew reading in Hebrew Schools worldwide. Modeled after the Martial Arts ranking system, it clearly breaks down Hebrew reading into manageable goals and levels defined by color.
Aleph Champ allows for multiple students to learn simultaneously in one classroom while each child progresses at the pace they feel comfortable. This program ensures that students do not go on to a new level until they have truly mastered all that their current level expects them to know. Moving up in levels is proof of hard work and determination and is therefore a source of pride, leading to self motivation and success.
