Jewish Enrichment Program
Daily, High-Quality Jewish Enrichment in Philadelphia
Makom Community provides daily, high-quality Jewish Enrichment after school dismissal Monday through Friday. Our k-2nd grade learners can choose 2-5 days per week Monday through Friday. Our 3rd-4th grade learners can choose 2-5 days per week that include at least 2 non-Friday afternoons. Our 5th-7th grade learners have slightly different schedules, 2-3 days per week, Monday through Thursday, and the option of a 30 minute 1:1 to support Hebrew learning. Our 8th-12th grade learners have a series of 8 week mini-mesters throughout the year where they can enroll in one, two, or all three of our trimesters.
The beauty of Makom Community is you can choose the days that work for your busy family! Given the unique nature of our child-led learning, we recommend three, four, and five day a week schedules.
On Fridays, we have special electives, make challah, and get ready to celebrate Shabbat together.
We are located at 2401 Washington Avenue. School pickup travel groups to are available from:
