What is the daily schedule like?
Students typically take five academic courses English, Mathematics, Science, History and Foreign Language plus a Fine Arts elective. We have a 7-period, rotating schedule which seems complicated but that students learn quickly. In general we have breakfast from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m., two classes before Morning Meeting/Food Break, two classes before lunch, and then two classes after lunch. There are also meeting periods on some days. Sports, riding, dance, and P. E. often happen between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Dinner is served from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Study Hall is from 7:30-9:45 p.m., and lights out is at 11 p.m. (10:30 p.m.
At Bnot Torah classes and Beit Midrash sessions are conducted on Sundays through Wednesdays from 8:30 AM-1:00 PM and 3:40 – 7:00 PM. Classes on Thursday end at 12:00 PM to accommodate for Chessed activities. Tuesday and Thursdays students return in the evening from 8:00 PM – 10:05 PM. The morning session is replete with four one hour classes that allow a student to explore the broad course offerings found within our academic and intellectually stimulating program. In addition, from Sunday through Wednesday the morning session is also interspersed with a healthy balance of classes and Beit Midrash study; the three afternoons utilize classes and Beit Midrash time; the two evenings consist of two classes each, including Electives you can select depending upon your interest and orientation.
