Lower School (K-5)
Our Curriculum
At Landow Jewish Academy, we go beyond imparting a broad range of academic and creative knowledge and skills — we nurture the whole child. Our program is designed to help students develop the moral, social, and interpersonal foundations they need to thrive, both within our school community and beyond.
Whole Child Approach
Strong Foundations for Strong Futures
We focus on foundational literacy, numeracy, (include Jewish studies) students embrace and master new challenges across a rich and comprehensive curriculum, including reading, writing, oral expression, spelling, social studies, mathematics, and science, music, art and PE
Early exposure to science and technology through exploratory STEAM activities and maker-based learning ( hands on, active learning; projects oriented and problem-solving focused, building community and collaboration, developing 21st century skills like creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication by equipping students with skills and mindset needed to thrive in a rapidly changing word).
Innovations in STEAM
Fostering Life-long Learning
Strong emphasis on reading fluency and critical thinking to build lifelong learning habits.
Students build essential knowledge, skills, habits, and attitudes for ethical living, the practice of mitzvot, and a deep connection to Jewish traditions. They gain a strong understanding of Shabbat, festivals, and holy days, with emphasis placed not only on learning rituals but also on exploring the values and meanings behind them.

Drama is woven into the learning experience, with students participating in school productions that encourage self-expression, build confidence, and cultivate their creative talents.
Our physical education program emphasizes developing physical skills, emotional wellness, and sportsmanship through a variety of engaging activities.
