Philosophy

At the Chabad City Gan, we provide your child with a warm Jewish environment where his or her unique style of learning and developing is valued and nurtured. Every child is considered a treasure entrusted in our care and we keep to exceptional academic and social skill standards. We firmly believe that the cornerstone for all cognitive learning is a nurtured sense of self worth achieved by celebrating each child’s individual creative expression and their unique strengths. Our approach to integrated education is informed by both Jewish wisdom and the best of progressive educational practices, primarily the Reggio Emilia approach. These methods guide and inspire us to maintain a high level of respect for each individual child. Guided by Jewish teachings, we view each child as a precious gift entrusted in our care. This belief translates into every day and each encounter at The City Gan. The City Gan admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin in all the rights, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies and other school-administered programs.
