Farber Curriculum

Farber Hebrew Day School’s Director of Curriculum & Instruction leads efforts in our Curriculum Mapping process to streamline curriculum across grades, find overlap and gaps in curriculum and provide a guide for new teachers to be properly inducted into the vision of the school. Our Director of Curriculum & Instruction assists teachers in prioritizing the long-term vision of the educational structure at Farber and creates a cohesive curriculum that prepares students for success through Early Childhood through High School, onto college and work environments.

Math

The High School math program is focused on providing a challenging and engaging curriculum that prepares our students for the rigors of college along with the life skill of problem solving. Each discipline provides varying levels of challenge with more advanced students taking the Advanced Placement courses of Calculus and Statistics.
