A: Nishmat Adin aims to provide its students with the best academic and Judaic program, one that meets the needs of a wide range of students from various personal and scholastic backgrounds. Therefore, we utilize a combination of class modalities to deliver exceptional content to our students. Most classes are taught by Scottsdale faculty. In addition, we work with two outstanding, accredited organizations (Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles and Accelerate Education) to provide additional remote classes, differentiated learning opportunities, electives, advanced classes, and AP classes. In this way, Nishmat Adin is able to tailor each student's education to meet his or her own unique needs and interests. As our school grows, we plan to increase our Scottsdale-based offerings even further.
A: Nishmat Adin Shalhevet Scottsdale is currently located at the Ina Levine Jewish Community Center in Scottsdale.
A: Nishmat Adin has chosen not to utilize labels in its description of its Halachic standards, and instead focuses on concepts. The idea behind this decision is to create an environment in which people of many backgrounds can feel welcome and at home. At the same time, Halachic standards are maintained and adhered to in the everyday religious decision making for the school. This includes kosher food at all school events, calendars and programming that do not conflict with or violate Sabbath and Jewish holidays, among many other decisions. School religious decision making is under the authority of Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, who is a member of AIPAC's National Council and a member of the Vaad Harabanim, the Orthodox Rabbinic Council of Arizona.
A: Absolutely! We are proud to offer extracurricular activities in STEM/robotics, journalism, creative writing, Women's club, and more. In addition, as a new school, there are plenty of opportunities for students (under faculty mentorship) to form new clubs and programs of interest, enabling our students to develop their creativity and leadership skills.
A: Nishmat Adin believes strongly in fostering a warm and connected school environment, while also providing our students with opportunities to expand their Jewish social circles. Our school creates year-round opportunities for students to bond with one another, right here in Arizona (including events around the holidays, dinners, concerts, day trips, and team-building exercises). Additionally, Nishmat Adin holds trips to California roughly two to four times a year (once or twice a semester) to create enriching Jewish social opportunities through our connection with Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles. While trips are highly encouraged due to the social benefits, they are not required.
