Spiritual Development
Underlying our curriculum is a vision of the fundamental role which Judeo-Christian values have played in Western culture.
While the core school day does not include religious instruction, we recognize spiritual development as an important part of fostering character and leadership. To support this growth, the school offers optional religious instruction before and after school hours.
Cultivating students who are proud,
knowledgeable,
and passionate about their Jewish identity
The Gur Aryeh program at MLCA believes children are never too young to learn great Jewish things. Students cultivate a strong Jewish identity while embracing the best of Western civilization. They become highly literate in Hebrew and Western texts, proud and educated Zionists, and deeply committed to leading passionate Jewish lives. Gur Aryeh graduates emerge as religiously committed individuals with deep knowledge of Jewish texts, language, and culture.
Christian Studies provides students with a scholarly understanding of Scripture, Israel’s history, and church history, while also nurturing spiritual growth and offering opportunities for prayer. Grounded in the Apostle’s Creed, students explore the Bible with curiosity and learn how it shapes daily life. Classes meet 1–2 times per week and are coordinated by Ms. Olivia Guerra.
