MAKOMnj’s Learning Program
It’s where learning comes alive.
The MAKOMnj LEARNING PROGRAM is based on a culture of kindness where each student and each family feels valued. We affirm the choices families make Jewishly and help students and families to apply Jewish values to their lives with ease.
We offer two types of experiences.
Our in-person experience is on Sunday mornings from 10:00 am to 11:00 am.
On Sunday mornings students learn about Jewish values and Jewish history. Hebrew is taught separately during the week. Each child gets private lessons with a teacher via zoom. Students sign up for 20 minute time slots according to their schedule.
Our 100% Virtual online program is on Tuesday afternoons from 4:30 pm to 5:15 pm on zoom.

What does our in-person Sunday morning of learning look like?
When it is safe to be inside, the students come in to our Morristown “Homebase” location at 10am, kick off their shoes and take a seat at the table. We chat about the week that has passed while we wait for everyone to arrive. Next, we move to the family room since we often start with a video to introduce the main topic of the day. We return to the table and dive deeper into the topic with discussions and projects. Since our learning is hands on, we often go into the kitchen to cook, go outside to play games, or do a scavenger hunt around the house. We end the day reviewing what we have learned and jotting a few notes in our thought journals.
For the 2020-2021 year we offered a “Covid Hybrid” program for grades 3-6 and we will do that again for the 2021-2022 year if need be. This is perfect for families who want in person learning but due to the pandemic this may not always be possible. This hybrid program will allow us to be together outside when it is safe and meet virtually when we must practice social distancing.
This class will meet on Sunday mornings from 10:00am-11:00am
