Torah Day School of Seattle…
… A school that students see as a home away from home.
Visit the school and experience the nurturing environment for yourself. You will immediately feel the energy and spirit of a thriving establishment where Torah study, tefillah, and general studies learning are at their best.
… A school where teachers cultivate meaningful relationships with each and every student.
Small class size allows students to get the individual attention they need. Texts, materials, and goals are tailored to each child.
… A school where students learn who they are as Jews in the context of history.
TDS students are taught a general overview of 6,000 years of Jewish history in a single impressionistic lesson. This enables students to understand what matters most: where they are going and how to get there.
… A school where general studies and Judaic studies are integrated.
General knowledge is often presented in the context of Jewish life. The dynamic dual curriculum is infused with Torah perspectives. This enables children to connect to their community and the world in general.
… A school where students learn using physical materials, not just textbooks and workbooks.
TDS students learn in a variety of ways that address different learning styles. Multiple intelligences are addressed by using tangible materials that allow children to relate to abstract concepts.
… A school where young children are given the skill to contextualize any Torah they learn.
TDS students learn a 350-year-old memory system that allows them to recall the location of vast amounts of information within an entire tractate of Mishna or portion in the Torah.
… A school where students learn the basic details of all 613 commandments.
TDS students remember hundreds of mitzvos using picture associations. This gives them a context of what it means to be an observant Jew and how to apply mitzvos to their lives.
