A combined Jewish school
UJS is a combined supplemental religious school serving the Reform congregation of Temple Emanuel and the Conservative congregation of Ahavas Israel in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Normally, we enroll students from Gan Katan (ages 2-4) through 12th grade. Regretfully, we have decided not to offer Gan Katan, our 2-3 year old program, this year because of the special circumstances surrounding creating a school program during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students attend school on Sunday mornings for Judaic and Hebrew learning. Starting in 3rd grade, we offer supplemental Hebrew classes in addition to the Hebrew offered during the Sunday morning program. This year, the supplemental Hebrew program will be offered online only, with a special curriculum designed for online learning.
