Mission

Folkshul is a secular, humanist community. Its mission is to transmit the values of social justice and human responsibility in a secular environment that nourishes critical thinking and provides a strong sense of a Jewish identity.

About

Youth education program: At the core of Folkshul is its youth education program, serving K-9th grade students with weekly instruction by certified teachers on Sunday mornings. The Folkshul curriculum is centered on fostering an identity through learning about the ideas, values, ethics, activities, traditions and celebrations of secular humanistic Jews and providing opportunities for students to practice what they learn. After completion of the 9th grade, our students are given the opportunity to become working assistants in our classrooms and community until their graduation from high school. Over 75% of rising 10th graders become Folkshul assistants each year.
