As the Grade 1 & 2 teacher, it is her goal to introduce and establish a solid foundation in French for our students.

Mr. Bell brings 30 years of experience teaching Music for the public school board (TVDSB). His focus is on music theory and supporting our Judaic curriculum with Hebrew and contemporary Israeli music. Music is such an integral part of our Judaic Studies program and contributes to the atmosphere and spirit (ruach) of our school. During holiday time when we can hear our children singing in celebration, the music connects us to our Jewish roots and traditions. Our Music Club brings students together to explore contemporary music and create our own songs that reflect the values and friendship that makes our school so unique. Of course, there’s nothing like Yom Ha’atzmaut, where we dress in Blue and White, sing and dance to Israeli music and celebrate Israel’s birthday
