“Who is wise? One who learns from all persons.” (Pirke Avot 4:1)
High School is a time for consolidation and mastery of knowledge. We strive to instill in our students a love of learning; we want our students – and our graduates – to be actively engaged in the world around them and fully confident in their ability to be life-long learners.
During the High School years, students move towards greater independence. Each year, they are expected to take more responsibility for their work and their own learning. The academic goals are to fine-tune the students’ analytical skills and thinking processes so that they can approach a biblical text, a social studies primary document or a physics problem independently and with confidence.
Highlights of High School at Golda Och Academy include the following:
- Naale - our 9th grade Israel trip

- All High School Community Service Day
