Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now open

IKARON offers in-person concierge Jewish learning for children grades K-7.

Small groups of 2-4 students can form throughout the year based upon interest and instructor availability. Parents who wish to learn more should write to rabbimarcia@jewishcollaborativeoc.org

Program description:
IKARON brings each child on a journey of discovery, helping them to uncover an authentic connection to the time-tested teachings of Judaism. We do this through project-based learning, music, interactive activities, and opportunities to explore personal connections. Through exposure to prayer, ritual, Shabbat and festival observance, and Torah study, IKARON students will embrace life lessons guided by Jewish ethics. Hebrew vocabulary and connection to the land of Israel are reinforced throughout.
