Providing a quality, well-rounded experience for our students. At Schechter, we want our students to be engaged in and outside of the classroom We are proud to offer many after school activities for our students and continue to add additional programs each year.
At Gross Schechter, one of our core values is Btzelem Elokim (all are made in G-d’s image), where we value the uniqueness of each individual and instill the concept of Shmirat Ha’guf (caring for your body), where health and wellness is a priority. To that end, our students receive physical education multiple times per week. For our middle school students, we offer two different after-school team sports that practice and compete in a league with other area independent schools including: Co-Ed Varsity and JV Basketball, and Co-Ed Soccer.
Our Middle School students elect student government representatives who meet weekly under the advisory of Julia Meyer Middle School Social Studies Teacher and Sixth Grade Advisor. Student government is responsible for programming, leadership and student advisory.
Programs that Student Government Plans Include:
Students in Kindergarten through Second grade who join Art Club will meet weekly to learn new art techniques and create special projects.
Our Middle School students can participate in our co-ed soccer team. The team plays games against other local middle school teams which culminates in a playoff tournament.
Girls and Boys basketball is a great way for students to show their school spirit and love of the sport!
Our middle school students work together to layout and provide editorial copy for the Schechter yearbook.
