PASSION & PRINCIPLES
OUR COMMITMENT TO TORAH
Kohelet strives to create a community of knowledgeable and passionate students who are committed to Ahavat Hashem and Yir’at Shamayim in an environment that fosters a love of Torah study and a dedication to Halakhah. As such, Kohelet's curriculum emphasizes the primacy of Torah study, with a focus on Gemara and Tanach, in a manner that encourages both sophisticated textual analysis and enduring spiritual relevance. Kohelet is devoted to the importance of providing such opportunities equally for both men and women while cultivating a culture of mutual respect and spiritual growth in single gender classes. Kohelet’s Beit Midrash provides opportunities for intensive study beyond the classroom while modeling the centrality of a vibrant makom Torah and the pursuit of lifelong limud ha-Torah for all members of the Jewish community.
OUR COMMITMENT TO GENERAL STUDIES & THE ARTS
As a Modern Orthodox institution, Kohelet believes that knowledge and love of G-d is fostered through an appreciation of the beauty, complexity, and wisdom found throughout G-d’s multifaceted world. Therefore, Kohelet provides its students with an innovative and rigorous college preparatory General Studies education that reaches toward the highest standards of academic excellence and emphasizes inquiry and exploration in all disciplines. Kohelet also believes that an appreciation for the arts is important to the creation of spiritually integrated and culturally literate individuals, and therefore plays a meaningful part in every student’s educational experience.
