Jewish life at IAE is dynamic and meaningful, aligned with IB principles, strengthening students' connection to their roots and integrating learning with daily life. It is evident in activities inside and outside the classroom, fostering closer connections among students, teachers, peers, and the wider community. This year the program redefined the Jewish profile to reinforce identity, updated teachers' profiles, and introduced an institutional Judaic diagnostic, while expanding festival celebrations and after-school activities for families. Preschool teaches Torah study and mitzvot through playful activities; Lower School strengthens Jewish identity with Torah study and the Talam Hebrew language program; Upper School emphasizes Tanakh and Hebrew history and offers Hebrew through the NETA program, with projects such as the Zionism contest, Jidón Tanaj, and the March of the Living.
