High School
High School
Havurah's High School provides an environment in which students, with the guidance of educators, challenge, question, and appreciate their Jewish identity. Emphasis is also placed on developing lifelong friendships with other students.
The high school program strives to identify and explore what students are interested in. In prior years, through film, art, and other activities, students have explored and considered undocumented youth, the complicated politics of the Middle East, and tikkun olam projects.

Meeting Times
Havurah High meets on Wednesday evenings during the school year, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Each class begins with dinner (6:30 to 7:00 pm), when students socialize with each other and with Havurah's Middle School students. Then students have class from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Additional social and other activities occur on other dates. During the 2024-25 (5785) school year, Havurah High students will meet on the following dates; 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/13, 11/20, 12/4, 12/11, 12/18, 1/15, 1/22, 1/29, 2/5, 2/12, 1/19, 1/26, 3/5 and 3/12.
