The Power of Two Languages
From kindergarten through 8th Grade, your child learns in both English and Hebrew every day.
Through immersive dual language instruction in Hebrew and English, our students reap the proven cognitive and social benefits of learning in more than one language, engaging authentically with Jewish texts and traditions on a daily basis.
As extensive research has shown, students who learn a second language (or third or fourth…) can approach all their subjects—from math to science to art and beyond—from different perspectives, giving them significant intellectual and personal advantages.
While she grows increasingly proficient in Hebrew, she tackles academic and cultural challenges with compassion and ingenuity. She makes meaning of our ancient texts, forms a personal connection to prayer, and delves into the themes of holidays and modern Jewish history.
He prepares for his bar mitzvah, our capstone 8th Grade trip to Israel, and a lifetime of experiences and encounters he has only begun to imagine.

Transformative Travels
Cultivating your child’s innate curiosity, we offer inspiring encounters in nearby neighborhoods and across the globe.
In our own city of Los Angeles, students meet internationally renowned artists, scientists, and politicians at museums and institutions. Your child also travels to Camp JCA Shalom in Malibu, and to Sacramento and Washington, D.C., deepening his definitions of self, community, and nation.
In 7th grade, your child participates in an exchange program with a local Muslim school, fostering profound mutual discoveries.
In 8th grade, your child’s education culminates in a life-changing, two-week journey to Israel. Experiencing our core value, ahavat yisrael, love of Israel, he engages with Israel’s land, people, language, and history, building community and gaining independence at the same time.
Your child returns filled with cherished memories, strengthened friendships, and new ideas that guide and challenge him all his life. Later in the fall, when he embarks on his first day of high school, he does so with a confident sense of self and humble awareness of his place in the larger narrative of the Jewish people.

J-STEAM EDUCATION
Judaica, Science, Engineering, Arts, and Math
You might call our J-STEAM program “tinkering with a purpose.” From age two through graduation, your child dives into hands-on, interdisciplinary investigations that place her discoveries in the larger context of history, values, and culture, laying a foundation for success in our ever-evolving world.
Our Innovation Lab is a hub of design thinking, experimentation and creativity, where your child collaborates and takes risks with her classmates—wondering, inventing, and engaging with our curriculum in exciting new ways.
Our coding and robotics program prepares her for the constantly developing, increasingly tech-driven environment. Students build creative confidence and, even in Kindergarten, understand that they are problem solvers and programmers, inventors, and engineers.
We invite you to visit and see our young innovators in action.

Student Services
Sinai Akiba Academy is proud to offer student learning support through the Student Services Department.
The team provides general studies support for students throughout the grade levels so that students can experience academic progress and success. Services may be provided individually, in small groups, and in the classroom. Schedules and groupings are made based on the strengths and needs of each individual learner.
The Student Services team endeavors to build an understanding of learning differences for students, faculty, and parents. We also help to facilitate communication and collaboration between these individuals, as well as with outside providers.
The Student Services Department allows students with a broad range of abilities to receive a strong Jewish education, and prepares them for high school and university educations upon graduation. Our program is a model, which is shared with other private and Jewish day schools across the country.
If you would like to discuss any of the offerings of the Student Services Department, please contact Becca Furer, Director of Student Services, at rfurer@sinaiakiba.org.
