Beyond the Classroom
Find an interest.
Make it yours.
Clubs, competitions, chesed, trips, and student-led programs give every talmid opportunities to participate, contribute, and lead.
Get Involved
School life is shaped by the students who step forward.
A JEC education extends well beyond the formal school day. Students pursue interests, work with peers from across the grades, and take responsibility for programs that add energy and meaning to the school community.
Some activities are competitive, some creative, and some centered on chesed. Together, they give each boy another way to discover his strengths and find his place.
