Pathways (9th-12th Grade)

The Basics

Pathways is our comprehensive, choice-based program for High School students. Beginning ​in the Spring semester of 8th Grade through the end of 12th Grade, Pathways is a community of teens that choose their own Jewish journey through connecting with friends, traveling, volunteering, interning, learning, and leading their peers. In Pathways, teens can:

  • Join TaSTY, our teen led youth group
  • Become a TA in our Religious School
  • Travel on our grade trips to New Orleans, Alabama, Washington, DC, Europe, and Israel
  • Learn with our clergy and faculty in Electives
  • Intern with Shaaray Tefila staff
  • Create their own opportunity in consultation with our staff

While many of our Pathways programs take place on Monday evenings, view the calendar link in the “Calendars & Handbook” tab below for specific dates and times for our Pathways programs.

Please Note: Enrollment in Temple Shaaray Tefila Religious School is available to member families in good standing.
