Extracurricular Programs
At Toras Chaim we tend
to the overall well-being of every student by catering to the academic,
emotional, and physical health of each bochur. To this end, we built an
exciting school-wide extracurricular program.
Our programs are designed to build character, camaraderie, leadership
and promote physical fitness while complementing the mental acrobatics of
learning in yeshiva. The energy and
excitement in our wholesome extracurricular programs provide an excellent
outlet and forum to experience great group fun while building important life
skills.
Video Production
Students enjoy learning
creative skills while using professional software on our new Apple workstations:
from graphic design to sound & video editing, storyboarding & script
writing, production set design and acting. The yeshiva recruits experts in the
industry to meet with each group of students to help guide their projects.
Scouting Program
In our outdoors
program, talmidim have the amazing opportunity go hiking, camping, boating, learn
wilderness survival skills and much more. It is the nexus of experiential
learning, building life skills and extreme adventures.
Martial Arts Program
With the guidance of
an expert instructor, students learn self-defense while developing physical
fitness and focus.
Special Activities
Our calendar is
infused with many exciting trips and activities such as shabbatons, camping
trips, sports activities, ropes courses, canoe trips, Thursday night mishmar,
Friday night onegs, melava malka programs, and team building & leadership
development activities.
Individualized
Growth Program
Together with each
talmid, we identify an area where he is ready to grow. We track his progress
and celebrate his success! Every talmid can earn substantial trips and rewards
by meeting the individualized goals in his program. It may be learning an
extra seder, working a little harder in a certain class, starting sh’nayim
mikra, something in bein adam le’chaveiro, or anything else that he
is ready for.
Our trained staff are
experts in crafting individual, meaningful, quantifiable goals in Torah
learning and character development. Goals are regularly adjusted through the
joint input of the talmid and his rebbeim & teachers. Progress is shared in
real-time with the talmid, his teachers and his parents.
