Arts
Visual Arts
At AJA, our art program is crafted to ignite students' creativity and encourage self-expression, helping them discover their potential as young artists. Each week, students explore various artistic techniques and concepts, learning the fundamental elements of art while engaging in themed projects. These projects not only cover core art principles but also incorporate themes from the Jewish calendar and Jewish identity, reflecting our commitment to nurturing both artistic and cultural growth.
Music
Music @ AJA focuses on teaching music and making it fun, exciting and relevant for all students. Our music program is an integral part of AJA’s culture. A big part of that culture is the focus on Jewish and Israeli music and my goal is to incorporate it into our curriculum.
It is our belief that music brings us together as a community and this is especially true at AJA. When we sing or perform together it brings us closer to each other and it strengthens our identity. In addition, this music program allows students to express themselves as individuals in a creative and nonjudgmental environment. It is our goal to create a welcoming and inclusive environment in music class.
It is imperative for a child’s development to be exposed to many different genres, styles and types of music starting at a very young age. Our music program provides that opportunity to all students with a variety of fun and age appropriate activities.
