Cheder Chabad Of Baltimore

Cheder is special. From its focus on both the inner-spiritual and external-physical beauty of our school, Cheder delivers a love of Yiddishkeit to our students. Cheder Chabad of Baltimore is now in its 12th year, with more than 200 children from preschool through elementary: with boys elementary through 8th grade and girls elementary through 7th grade.

All the children in Cheder are soldiers in Hashem's army and have their very own uniform! As we have seen in the past, our students are very proud to wear their uniform, especially when they are aware of its importance to their role in Tzivos Hashem.

Encourage your child to dress appropriately by complimenting their uniform or by setting up a mirror moment to check if their uniform is in order before going to school - this will help channel your child's natural enthusiasm into the way they dress.A Cheder girl's uniform consists of sleeves that cover the elbows, skirts below the knee, and tights or knee socks in all weather including warmer months.

Our curriculum is based on the Jewish calendar year. It highlights Yomim Tovim and the seasons as the basis for our exploration. Knowledge and skills are taught directly but are also learned through exploration of materials and opportunities provided in the school environment and the natural world.

Cheder Chabad hosts a stellar, licensed preschool program for ages 6 weeks through 5 years. Families from beyond Baltimore have sought out our program and joined the growing Cheder community.

While our students come from a wide range of Orthodox backgrounds from across Maryland and southern Pennsylvania, Cheder seeks to preserve the Chassidishe atmosphere in school and to respect the values of all families in respect to Kashrus (Cholov Yisroel) and general media and licensed characters (see Gan handbook).The Limudei Kodesh program is linked to the world-wide network of exciting Tzivos Hashem programs exclusively for Chabad schools.

Having grown from 12 students to over 300 students in 13 years, Cheder is building its unique program into a thriving preschool and yeshivah elementary school. With our expanded facility and growing elementary, our budget is approximately $3 million. Over 50% of our families receive tuition scholarships that are subsidized through the tireless fundraising efforts of the school board and administration.
