Participating Schools

CHEDER: Jewish Education Tax Credit Organization (JETCO) gave scholarships to 100 students in 2008. These students are now receiving their education at two of Tucson's top award-winning educational institutions:

Congregation Anshei Israel Esther B. Feldman Kindergarten

Congregation Anshei Israel Esther B. Feldman Kindergarten is a comprehensive, full-day program and an introduction to the exciting world of elementary school in which the child's curiosity about the world grows. Basic concepts in reading, writing, math, science, and art help the child build confidence in his or her ability to learn and develop self-esteem through greater independence. Visits by specialists and field trips are included. Jewish traditions and history are introduced through music, art and a beginning Hebrew vocabulary program.

Tucson Hebrew Academy, Pozez Educational Campus

Tucson Hebrew Academy is a pluralistic Kindergarten through 8th grade Jewish Day School. We foster educational excellence through an interdisciplinary, integrated General Studies and Judaic curriculum. We teach our students to apply Jewish values and learning to everyday life, enabling them to make their community and the world a better place. The Academy creates a total learning environment. Exploration and discovery, assimilation of knowledge, the search for meaning in every subject, and mastery of skills characterize the education experience. A low student/teacher ratio allows faculty members to manage this style of instruction, based on the most up-to-date cognitive research.
