Vision Statement and Guiding Principles
Vision
The High School of Temple B’nai Torah inspires and nourishes an abiding enthusiasm for Jewish learning, and supports students in affirming their Jewish identity by word and deed.
Guiding Principles
* An intellectually challenging program of formal, informal, and personal learning experiences teaches students the knowledge and skills they need to understand what it means to be a Jew in the 21st century.
* Faculty members model and inspire the love for Jewish learning we wish to engender in our students.
* The High School community encourages students to explore their personal theology and relationship with God.
* All interactions in the school community have their foundation in Jewish values and are directed toward the development of mutual respect and support, courtesy and kindness, individual responsibility, and shared concern for the common good.
* Learning experiences have a greater impact when they are embedded in a communal culture based on trust, honesty, and respect.
* Living a Jewish life is made meaningful by bearing witness to the brit (covenant between God and the Jewish people) through the practice of mitzvot, tefilah, study of Torah, and the pursuit of justice.
* Jewish High School students hold esteem for themselves, their families, their community, and the lives, families, and communities of those people who are different from them.
