Clubs: Extra-Curricular Activities
Education is not limited to the classroom or to textbooks. We feel
that our students must actively apply the lessons we try to transmit.
To implement this goal Beth Chana encourages participation
in Chessed Activities.
1. Visits to the Jewish Home, Tower East and other senior resident facilities
are set up on a monthly basis. Lunch and learn sessions give students
an opportunity to interact with the residents.
2. Students are required to participate in Chessed related activities
for a minimum of 36 hours during each semester of high school. A list
of suggested projects and programs is made available to the students
so they may become involved in activities of their choice.
Sports: Students can sign up for our girls' basketball
team, with rigorous after-school practice sessions and games played
against other neighborhood schools.

Notes |
|
At Beth Chana, we aim to maximize each student’s opportunities
for future success, as proud Jewish daughters well-integrated in the
world around them.
The students at Beth Chana have a busy life, developing lasting friendships
and sharing activities outside of school. Recreational trips, Shabbatonim,
interschool conferences, and athletic competitions lead to meeting
students from other schools. An annual musical production provides
opportunities for expression in music, drama, art, and dance. Character
development, as an integral part of learning, leads to ethical, caring
behavior, and involvement in Chesed programs are encouraged.
Computer Capabilities:
The mission of the SCHA’s Technology program is to promote the use of technology as a learning tool and to facilitate the development of academic skills by providing innovative and engaging technology opportunities for our students and teachers. Because of these convictions, our school has created a vision for the integration of technology into the educational setting. Technology is an integral part of
the educational standards of the students at the Southern Connecticut Hebrew Academy. Students will receive computer training through traditional instruction as well as through computer use throughout the curriculum. To attain our mission and achieve our goals, a three-stage strategic technology plan has been developed. The ultimate outcome is for SCHA to become an academically oriented, cutting edge, technologically based,
wireless laptop program.
Currently we have throughout the campus hard wiring as well as wireless capacity. All computers (in the classrooms and tech center) are networked and have limited student internet access. Our technology center features 20 Dell Optiplexes along with various peripheral technology (digital cameras – digital camcorders, laser color printers, scanners, etc)
