Lamplighters Yeshivah Annual Report 5777 Annual Report 5777 | Page 7

OUR MISSION Lamplighters Yeshivah is reclaiming school as a learning community, focused around our children. Rooted in Torah and infused with a process of questioning and ex- perimentation, we nurture every child in realizing their Divine mis- sion--applying their will, mind, heart and talents in the service of the Creator. In turn, they will do the same for others. This is Lamplighting. We are a lab school that’s reclaiming the wholeness of Jewish learning. We recognize the impor- tance of ‘hard data,’ and the role of the ‘white space:’ nuance, anecdote, fluidity. We fortify educa- tors as scientists, using technology, research, and behavior science to customize the learning envi- ronment for every student, growing as innovators and leaders in the process. The most important number at Lamplighters is One. Our core belief is that we do not fit a child into a school; rather, we customize the school to fit the needs of every child. Education, and espe- cially Jewish education, requires supporting the whole child. 7 7
