Grades 7-12

"Madrich" (masculine) or "madricha" (feminine) are the Hebrew terms meaning "guide" or "leader." Adat Reyim Religious School has a very successful Madrichim program where our teenagers not only serve as role models and guides to our younger students, but are guided by our staff in developing their teaching and leadership skills. As they help with students, the madrichim improve their own skills and gain a deeper understanding of their Jewish heritage.

Madrichim in grades 8-10 can serve many roles depending on their skills and interests. Some work as individual tutors with students who are building their Hebrew skills; other support students with learning, social, and emotional needs; students with special talents in art, music, and drama can share their talents as specialist. Madrichim often lead small groups, enabling the teachers to differentiate learning, and help to create a warm and caring classroom. Madrichim in 8th grade can earn service hours; those in 9th and 10th grade have a choice of earning Service Hours or receiving a stipend at the end of the school year.

Exceptional student leaders in 11th and 12th grades can become Assistant Teachers who take on more leadership responsibilities in our  grade level classrooms and individualized Hebrew program. These students are paid a monthly salary.

An application form for the Madrichim/Assistant Teacher program will be mailed to families of current madrichim and Assistant Teachers, and will also be linked here for new applicants.
