Thank you for registering for "The Jewish Learning Program at Temple Anshe Sholom". 

The first day of school is Wednesday September 17th, at Carluke Orchard! This is a family program and all household members are invited to join the fun as we join with famlies of Kehila Heschel JDS.

Our first Saturday is also a family program, with a very important parent meeting from 10-11am. Please plan to join us for the entire morning on Saturday September 20th. 

School Fees:

When enrolling in our Jewish Learning Program, you agree to pay a non-refundable deposit of $50 per student enrolled. 

After submitting the registration form, you will be contacted by a member of our Temple staff to set up school tuition payments. 

If your circumstances do not allow for your child to attend our two session/week program, please call Dora-Ann to discuss tuition options for Wednesday only or Saturday only. 

Students in Grades 4 through 6 are expected to attend twice a week in person. If they are only able to attend one in person session they are to participate in our mid-week online Hebrew class. This is to ensure their Hebrew decoding and Prayer fluency skills are developed and maintained as they approach becoming B'Nai Mitzvah. 

Grade 7 students MUST attend both Wednesday and Saturday sessions. If unable to attend both sessions, the family of the student is responsible for hiring and paying for additional tutoring, in addition to regular B'Mitzvah tutoring, in order to fully prepare their child for the B'Mitzvah service. 

Families may pay fees by the following schedule:
1 lump sum due upon submitting registration
4 equal payments
up to 10 equal monthly payments
