Chai School - Jewish Collaborative of Orange County

Home > Education > Chai School

Chai School offers teens a place to continue growing Jewishly at a stage when many young people begin to drift away from learning. This substantive program is designed to introduce and strengthen skills and concepts central to Jewish life, poising participants to be at ease and confident in Jewish settings in high school, college and beyond.

In addition to the educational component, Chai School will coalesce a community of peers and thoughtful educators that can help them feel anchored and connected. This is a meaningful next step after B. Mitzvah that promises to shape proud, curious young Jews who are excited about their rich heritage and are able to share that with the wider community.
