Elementary School
The Akiva elementary school has a half-day of Judaic studies classes and a half-day of secular studies classes. While this curriculum is more challenging than a conventional day school, it is necessary in order to give "the best of both world" to students. Elementary school students participate in a variety of extras, including the "Gedalya Mitchell Kol Haneshama youth choir", art, gym, and yoga.

Famous quotes containing the words elementary and/or school:
“Listen. We converse as we live—by repeating, by combining and recombining a few elements over and over again just as nature does when of elementary particles it builds a world.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day—
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.”
—Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
