We're so excited for another great year of programming at Beth Am! Our programs continue to focus on our dual goals of building community and identity, while offering multiple entry points for learners of all ages.
Youth Education Vision: Beth Am offers Jewish wisdom and tradition as a foundation and a springboard from which to live meaningful, joyful, and purposeful lives. In our Youth Education programs, students connect beyond themselves to the richness of heritage, tradition, and peoplehood. Throughout their journeys, the Beth Am community nourishes our students with deep relationships and a strong sense of belonging.

Inclusion In Youth Education:
Beth Am's Youth Education strives to be a community where each child feels safe, welcomed and valued. For children who might need accommodations, our educators, together with our Inclusion Specialist, work with parents, students and teachers to make sure that each child has the tools they need to be successful. If you would like to speak with someone to learn more about inclusion, please contact inclusion@betham.org.
Your tuition fees only cover only approximately 50% of the actual costs to run our youth education. The remaining portion is subsidized by memberships, grants and donations. Your donations to any of the special funds below help ensure that we can offer a Jewish education to all our children regardless of their family’s financial situation. Thank you for your generosity.
