Lower Elementary

Mechina - 2nd Grade

The Davis Academy focuses on nurturing the development of the whole child.

The thoughtful selection of age-appropriate, challenging curricula and creative classroom design, allow each student to develop the core fundamentals, while maintaining an emphasis on the social and emotional development of every student. 

Students learn skills and build confidence in reading, writing, and math while being inspired to explore and discover in social studies and science.  While the foundation of our Menschlichkeit Values is deliberately laid in the Jewish Studies classroom, they are noticeably embedded in every part of the Lower Elementary experience.  Small group differentiation, innovative technologies and unique teaching methods ensure that all students have the opportunity to achieve to the best of their ability, discover and grow individual talents, and build strong relationships with friends and teachers in a safe and comfortable environment.

Empowered by Academic Excellence
Embraced by Jewish Values

COMMUNITY

Kehillah means community.

A kehillah is a group of people who share similar values, hopes, and beliefs. To be part of a kehillah means being willing to put others first, to celebrate our unique qualities, and to always think about the whole.

RESPECT

Kavod means respect.

Judaism teaches that all of creation should be treated with respect. It also teaches that a person is deserving of kavod if they show kavod through their words and deeds.

SPIRIT

Ruach means spirit. 

Ruach means spirit in terms of energy, passion, and drive. It also means spirit in terms of the intangible part of who we are. The ruach within each of us is what drives us to do what we do and be who we are.

WISDOM

Chochmah means wisdom.

Jewish tradition views chochmah as something richer than knowledge. Chochmah is about making wise choices, about seeking wise counsel, and about arriving at a place beyond knowledge—a place of true insight, appreciation, and understanding.

RIGHTEOUSNESS

Tzedek means righteousness.

To be a tzadik means to be a righteous person, someone who always acts with integrity and honor (mensch). It is through tzedek, generosity and kindness that we make the world a better place. 

We are guided by the values of community, respect, spirt, wisdom, and righteousness. These five core values are intertwined in everything we do, they define who we are and who we aspire to be.

Engaged with the world around us and within us.
