The Curriculum Initiative (TCI) is the leading Jewish educational organization serving independent high schools. Through extra-curricular programming, school presentations and professional development, TCI strengthens Jewish students’ Jewish identity and nurtures school communities’ appreciation for Jewish culture and Judaism

 

TCI provides students with high-caliber, pluralistic, and experiential programs that emerge from their personal interests. Our staff and educators are professionally prepared to design programs that address a school's interest.

 

Programs

School-wide and classroom presentations invite all students to explore contemporary issues and topics through a Jewish perspective, and are structured to address a school's specific interests.

 

Extracurricular programs provide the intellectually and socially compelling activities students appreciate. TCI facilitates Jewish clubs, holiday events, service-learning projects and other activities that nurture meaningful connections to Judaism and Jewish culture.

 

Jewbilee is the premier annual gathering for Jewish prep school students, who spend a weekend exploring their Jewish identity, networking and creating long-lasting relationships.

 

Interschool events engage students in intensive Jewish-themed experiences, including Jewish service-learning trips to New Orleans and a Jewish History trip to Spain. A college-accredited Israel course was recently offered for the first time in San Francisco.

 

TCI’s Summer Institute and professional development workshops introduce instructional strategies and texts from the Jewish tradition that transform the classroom into an environment in which students share and respect multiple perspectives.

 

TCI Regions

TCI operates in four regions: Metro New York, where we are headquartered; New England, the Mid-Atlantic, and the San Francisco Bay area. We provide programming for students at dozens of schools including Andover, Boys Latin, Exeter, Fieldston, Menlo, Princeton Day, Trinity, and Woodside Priory.
