In response to a growing demand for alternative educational programs tailored to 13-15-year-olds, Aliya Youth of Crown Heights is set to launch an innovative initiative, Bnei Aliya. This pioneering school aims to fill a crucial gap in educational offerings, specifically targeting adolescents needing help finding traditional mainstream 8th-grade or mesivta programs suitable.
Over the years, Aliya has been inundated with inquiries from concerned parents seeking educational pathways that cater to their children’s unique needs and interests. Recognizing this unmet need, Aliya has developed Bnei Aliya—a comprehensive, full-day school designed to blend academic rigor and hands-on learning experiences.
Comprehensive Curriculum and Hands-On Learning
Bnei Aliya will feature a curriculum that balances essential academic subjects like Kodesh, English, math, and history with practical vocational trades. These vocational courses include woodworking, cooking/baking, music, digital product development/coding, and more. By integrating these disciplines, Bnei Aliya aims to equip students with academic knowledge and practical life skills for their future endeavors.
Dynamic Learning Environment
Located upstairs in Aliya’s newly renovated indoor/outdoor space, Bnei Aliya promises a dynamic and engaging learning environment. The facility is designed to foster creativity, exploration, and collaboration, ensuring that students feel inspired and motivated throughout their educational journey.
Support and Individualized Attention
At the heart of Bnei Aliya is a commitment to providing individualized support and attention to every student. The school recognizes that each adolescent has unique strengths and challenges. Therefore, the program is structured to nurture these individual qualities, helping students discover their talents and interests while preparing them for success in both the workforce and within their community. Classes will be small enough to focus on each student’s needs with staff with years of experience in similar alternative yeshivas.
Enrichment Beyond the Classroom
Beyond academic and vocational training, Bnei Aliya will offer various enrichment opportunities. Students can participate in evening programs, workshops, and organized trips to broaden their horizons and enhance their educational experience.
Self-Defense and Personal Development
Understanding the importance of holistic development, Bnei Aliya will include a self-defense (jiujitsu) class on Sunday evenings and daily workouts in the Aliya gym with a certified trainer. This initiative underscores the school’s commitment to academic and vocational excellence and its students’ well-being and safety.
