What We Believe:

Photo of Private Jewish Elementary School in Los Angeles, CAWe believe that the groundwork for a lifelong journey of discovery is laid upon two converging paths: a highly academic curriculum that emphasizes achievement through individual learning approaches; and an immersive Judaic program that incorporates the knowledge, language, heritage, rituals, and values central to Jewish identity as an individual, within the family, the congregation, and beyond. When our students leave Valley Beth Shalom Day School they leave prepared to achieve, succeed, and contribute.

We are all on a lifelong journey of discovery that is informed, enlivened, and enriched by academic achievement, spirituality, community, and personal growth. A superior elementary school-level foundation for this journey is the objective of Valley Beth Shalom Harold M. Schulweis Day School.

Kids Into Speaking Spanish Kiss
Courses / Programs
Kids Into Speaking Spanish (KISS) is a total Spanish immersion program for preschool and kindergarten age children (from 2 to 6 years), with two locations in the East Bay region of San Francisco Bay Area: Walnut Creek (East of Oakland in Contra Costa County) and Montclair, Oakland, CA. The schools are a safe and exciting place for children to grow and learn.

Our success over the last seven years is a testament to our innovative program. We provide a wonderful program designed to prepare your child for academic success. About 95% of the activities are conducted in Spanish. The core of our curriculum consists of activities and participation in cultural experiences such as singing, dancing, art projects, cooking, and games - all done entirely in Spanish.

All of the instructors we hire are native speakers because the KISS program emphasizes proper pronunciation and exposure to various aspects of Latin culture. We believe that creating an environment where children have fun, while being exposed to the Spanish language paves the way for greater receptivity to learning the language in a more structured setting later.
