The Consolidated High School of

Jewish Studies of Charlotte

PURPOSE   The Consolidated High School of Jewish Studies of Charlotte  (CHS)  is  sponsored by Temple Israel and Temple Beth El for students in grades 8 - 12. CHS offers an enriched academic program and provides an environment in which students are exposed to a variety of ideas, values and practices to strengthen their Jewish identity. CHS provides teenagers a natural setting for combining Jewish education with Jewish social experiences. Students are encouraged to expand their knowledge of Judaica, exchange views on important issues, and develop strong Jewish values and a sense of unity with Jewish people.

PROGRAMS: Classes meet on Wednesday evenings at Shalom Park from 7 - 9 p.m. Eighth and ninth grade students enroll in a one year-long core class, and three electives per year. In addition, these students participate in one week-end learning experience per year, which is designed to enhance the program. Tenth grade students meet weekly with the Rabbi of their own synagogue for an intensive year-long study experience which culminates with their Confirmation. Eleventh and twelfth graders may choose to enroll in a special Wednesday night course which is designed exclusively for those students who wish to continue their Jewish education beyond Confirmation. An additional program which meets monthly on Sunday evenings for dinner and a seminar is available to all eleventh and twelfth grade students. CHS students have the opportunity to serve actively on its Student Council which fosters school spirit and spearheads tzedakah and other projects.
