00:02.752 --> 00:04.671
The whole package is here at Barrack—

00:04.671 --> 00:07.757
the students, the teachers,
the administration.

00:07.757 --> 00:12.303
Students are able to broaden their
horizons at all stages of their education,

00:12.470 --> 00:15.849
especially through our unique Institutes
like the Business Institute,

00:15.849 --> 00:19.436
Steam and Art,
and really immerse themselves

00:19.436 --> 00:23.273
in an education that is
unique to them and their passions.

00:23.273 --> 00:29.946
We have collaboration between our Art Institute
and our Jewish Studies class.

00:29.946 --> 00:37.787
They really, as educators, work together
to integrate all disciplines into the classrooms.

00:37.787 --> 00:40.373
The Jewish Studies classes supplement

00:40.373 --> 00:44.627
the things that you learn in
humanities and science classes.

00:44.711 --> 00:47.922
No two children learn the same way.

00:48.006 --> 00:50.467
The advantage of having a lecture

00:50.467 --> 00:54.679
works for some, but then having hands-on
in a lab, for example, works for others.

00:54.763 --> 00:59.809
The idea is to expose them to
all the modalities so that you are able

00:59.809 --> 01:04.397
to engage every learner and offer them
best ability for their success.

01:04.481 --> 01:07.442
Earlier this year in science,
we planted fast plants

01:07.442 --> 01:09.277
and documented their growth

01:09.277 --> 01:12.280
so we could see the ratio of dominant
and recessive traits.

01:12.322 --> 01:18.286
It really connected what I've been
learning in math and science all together.

01:18.369 --> 01:20.747
The benefit of the small
class size at Barrack

01:20.747 --> 01:23.750
clearly lends itself to more
individualized instruction

01:23.958 --> 01:27.212
and teachers really have wonderful
opportunities to get to know

01:27.212 --> 01:28.880
those students one on one.

01:28.880 --> 01:32.425
It puts the student at ease, it
gives the student confidence

01:32.425 --> 01:34.636
Musk is a program

01:34.636 --> 01:37.889
where juniors spend
three months in Israel.

01:37.889 --> 01:41.601
You take classes while also
traveling around the whole country.

01:41.601 --> 01:43.895
It's not an experience
you can get anywhere else.

01:43.895 --> 01:47.816
For us, it's built into our curriculum
so we don't have to worry about

01:47.899 --> 01:49.567
catching up on anything
when we get back.

01:49.567 --> 01:51.903
It's set out for us to be able to do it

01:51.903 --> 01:54.405
so that we can have
this amazing experience.

01:54.405 --> 01:58.243
We really believe in the value
of community. I know everyone,

01:58.243 --> 02:01.788
whether they're in my grade or
older grades or younger grades.

02:01.788 --> 02:04.874
You can really get involved in anything
that you're interested in just because

02:04.874 --> 02:08.419
of the amount of clubs that there are
and the amount of sports that they have.

02:08.419 --> 02:14.509
The combination of both the academics as well as
the co-curriculars, and how they pair together

02:14.509 --> 02:20.515
is essential to what will help them
once they leave here and go on to college.

02:20.515 --> 02:23.351
Our hands on approach to
college counseling

02:23.351 --> 02:28.356
is a hallmark of the Barrack education.
We are guiding them towards institutions

02:28.356 --> 02:30.441
that are going to be
the right fit for them

02:30.441 --> 02:33.987
so that they will have that success
when they leave Barrack.

02:33.987 --> 02:38.366
The number one takeaway is
knowing that their Barrack experience

02:38.366 --> 02:41.911
gave them the knowledge
and the confidence

02:41.911 --> 02:45.999
to have found their own way
of being a Jewish leader.
