• About Samuel M. Melton

The Samuel M. Melton Religious School of Tifereth Israel is recognized as a Framework for Excellence school by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. We are dedicated to providing excellent Jewish education that will spark the love of learning and appreciation for the rich Jewish tradition from Kindergarten to 12^th Grade. In preparation for a lifetime of active participation in the Synagogue and Jewish life, students start their education in Kindergarten and through High school. Our students’ study includes age appropriate instruction in Modern Hebrew, Prayer, Torah and TaNaCh, holidays, and various Judaic studies topics. The Elementary school curriculum is also integrated with music, art and library, and incorporates family and grade level programs to enhance the classroom curriculum.

Our Hebrew curriculum is enhanced with an innovative method of teaching language called Hebrew Total Physical Response (TPR).  Samuel M. Melton Religious School is the only supplementary school in central Ohio pioneering this method for teaching Hebrew as a second language. Hebrew TPR emphasizes interaction, fun and physical activity while building self esteem and language literacy. Our teachers have been trained at the Siegal College of Judaic Studies to teach Hebrew TPR in grades K-5.
