Curriculum
Talmud Torah offers an integrated program of Judaic and secular studies in a Hebrew Bilingual setting, offering Hebrew bilingual instruction from Kindergarten to Grade 9 with an emphasis on Judaic Studies. The school's focus is on the development of language in both English and Hebrew to ensure students excel in oral and written communication. Classes are kept as small as possible. Parents, organized through the Talmud Torah Society, school council and parents auxiliary, are actively involved in the life and fabric of the school. About 60% of class time is devoted to the Alberta curriculum.[3][4]
