Where the joy of learning inspires discovery.
We are a Chabad community school where every Jewish child is welcome.
We are proud to cultivate a high quality learning environment guided by Torah directives and best practices emerging from research based learning pedagogy. Our integrated and challenging curriculum is built upon our core values of; character development, critical thinking, and academic rigor.
Our pedagogical philosophy is rooted in recognizing the need for learning to be an active experience.
By focusing on the skills of a subject matter, we can build the child's autonomy in learning. At CMCA, your children are given unending opportunities to think, observe, question and reflect and then to discover answers for themselves. Learning becomes its own reward, and each success fuels a desire to discover something new.
“Moving mid-school year with four children was not an easy feat, but having the comfort, welcome and care from Chaya Mushka Schools, made the transition as easy as possible. My kids were able to enter organized, happy, healthy and structured classrooms with such ease and joy. Everyone from the office staff to the teachers work incredibly hard to create a beautiful environment for children that nurtures the happiness and learning any parents could ask for.”

As a young child in cheder, the Rogatchover Gaon would sometimes leave his classroom and climb high into the branches of a tree in the yard. What could have been mistaken for mischief was, in fact, little Yosef’s way of finding the quiet space he needed to concentrate. His teacher, an educator in the truest sense understood this and rather than scolding him, chose to meet him where he was. At times, he even climbed the tree...
The fifth section of Sefer Devarim opens with Moshe instructing the Jewish people to appoint judges, shoftim, to try cases and uphold the law.
The parasha continues with Moshe’s instructions regarding other leaders of the Jewish people, including kings, priests, and prophets. Since all four types of leaders are discussed within the same parasha, yet the parasha is called Shoftim, it follows that the Torah considers the judge to be the central prototype of Jewish leadership.
This is because the role of the judge is to ensure…
A monkey, a penguin, an elephant, a fish in a bowl, a seal, and a dog all stand in a line before a man seated at a desk. Behind them is a large tree. “For a fair selection,” the man announces, “everybody has to take the same exam. Please climb that tree.” This well-known image illustrates a powerful truth. The absurdity is clear, how can we expect…
In this week’s parsha, we learn that Hashem instructed the Jewish people to bring gifts for the construction of the Mishkan, and that every person had a role to play: "Let them make for Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them". The contributions varied, from the skilled craftsmen who worked with gold, silver, and precious stones, to the simple gifts of fabric or wool brought by those with more limited resources. It wasn’t the size or the value of…
In this week’s parshah we read about the giving of the Torah on Har Sinai. The Jewish people receive the Aseres Hadibros - the Ten Commandments - foundational principles shaping Jewish life. When taken beyond their literal context they guide us in parenting and education, offering…
The 2024-2025 school year has brought more than just a few changes to the school. The school is growing, new classes are being added, new teachers are joining the staff, and more opportunities for students are being provided. One such addition has been the built-in weekly schedule of electives on Wednesday afternoons.
Electives in elementary and middle school offer opportunities and challenges, particularly in smaller schools where resources and student choice can be limited. While students in a larger setting may select electives that reflect their interests, our small school adapts the…
In this week’s Parsha, we are reminded of the vital relationship between holiness and identity and evil and the lack of identity. Our forefather Yaakov faced challenges throughout his life, from a brother who sought to kill him to a deceitful father-in-law in the morally corrupt environment of Charan. Despite these hardships, Yaakov rose above the darkness, gaining strength and growth through his trials. He established…
The month of Elul is a deeply significant period in the Jewish calendar, serving as a time of reflection and preparation for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah is not only a day to celebrate the beginning of a new year but also…
