At WTA, Jewish Life, Ahavat Torah, and Ahavat Yisrael is Embedded in Everything We Do.

WTA is a centrist Modern Orthodox co-educational Yeshiva Day School. At WTA, we are committed to providing an authentic Torah education and imbuing our children with a love of Torah in all aspect of life and learning. Halacha serves as the guiding force behind all decisions in our school, and our Hashkafa is consistent, transparent, and reflected throughout every aspect of our community.

Our Torah learning is infused with emunah, humility, and kavod — both for the sacred texts themselves and for the sages of previous generations — creating space for questioning, exploration, and meaningful, creative discussion.

In addition to Torah, mitzvot, and emunah in Hashem, the kedusha and centrality of Eretz Yisrael are at the heart of the WTA experience. Whether in tefillah, Torah learning, or developing fluency in Ivrit, the Land of Israel plays a central role in nurturing a strong, meaningful, and spiritually connected identity within each of our students.

  • In addition to our core Judaic Studies curriculum—including Ivrit, Chumash, Parashat HaShavua, Navi, and Tefillah—WTA intentionally infuses Yediot Klaliyot throughout grades 2–6 to ensure our students grow into well-rounded, knowledgeable Jews.

    Our Yediot Klaliyot curriculum is anchored in the Chayeinu program and follows a structured, spiraled approach that builds foundational Jewish knowledge year after year. Through consistent and intentional exposure, students develop fluency, confidence, and cultural literacy in the language and rhythms of Torah life.

    Areas of study include:

    • Hebrew letters and Rashi script

    • Gematria and number concepts

    • Chagim and the Jewish calendar

    • Brachot and tefillah vocabulary

    • Pitgamim (classical Jewish sayings)

    • Hebrew months and key Torah terminology

    These elements provide students with the shared language and background knowledge that deepen their understanding of Torah texts and Jewish practice. By integrating Yediot Klaliyot into daily learning, we strengthen our core value of ahavat Torah, helping students see Jewish knowledge not as isolated facts, but as a living, meaningful framework that shapes who they are and how they engage with the world.

  • Every Rosh Chodesh, our Middle Schoolers prepare a Limudei Kodesh Packet to teach and learn with Lower School Students. Its a special part of our WTA community, bringing children together around learning to start off each month!

  • On Rosh Chodesh and Holidays our 1st through 8th Graders gather together for a beautiful communal Tefillat Hallel. The singing, swaying, and joy of Hallel together is a beautiful celebration for our school!

  • Each day of the week, after tefillah in Middle School, students are treated to a different Torah Tidbit, with a different topic each day - Torah Technology, Sefer, Kugel & Kushiya etc.

  • Shabbat is a very special day at WTA! Our Early Childhood Oneg, Led by Rabbi Avi, offers the students age appropriate Parsha stories, songs, and plays, Lower School Oneg includes Divrei Torah from Rabbis and Students, Paraha Trivia, and singing, and in Middle School, we have Kugel & Kushiya every Friday to get us into the spirit of Shabbat!

  • WTA’s Annual Middle School Chessed Fair is an inspiring opportunity for students and families to engage deeply with the value of chesed and meaningful community involvement. During the fair, students and parents meet representatives from local organizations, learning firsthand about the many ways they can make a difference both locally and beyond.

    The evening also includes a hands-on chessed project, allowing our community to move from learning to action and create an immediate, heartfelt impact together. For students approaching their b’nei mitzvah, the Chessed Fair is a meaningful stepping stone in discovering a mitzvah project that aligns with their values, passions, and sense of responsibility.

    Through experiences like the Chessed Fair, WTA empowers students to see themselves as active contributors to the Jewish community and the world at large—living the Torah values they learn each day.

  • At WTA, Hebrew is not just a subject—it is a living, breathing part of daily life. Students learn and grow in an environment surrounded by Ivrit, hearing Hebrew spoken in classrooms, hallways, and throughout the school day. Our Limudei Kodesh classes are taught fully Ivrit b’Ivrit, immersing students in the language while deepening their connection to Torah, Jewish learning, and Israeli culture.

    This natural exposure builds confidence, fluency, and comfort with Hebrew as a language of learning, communication, and identity. Students experience Hebrew as something they use, not just study—strengthening both comprehension and expression in meaningful, authentic ways.

    Each year, our learning culminates in Shavua HaSafah HaIvrit, a joyful celebration of Hebrew language and Ahavat Yisrael. Through music, activities, learning, and school-wide programming, students celebrate their growth in Hebrew and the central role it plays in their Jewish lives.
