A message from Delaware Gratz Hebrew High School 

 

The mission of Delaware Gratz has always been and will continue to be the education of Jewish teens. Although we are no longer offering traditional classes we are continuing to offer Jewish teens the opportunity to continue their Jewish education.  

 

Research has shown that the best way to not only give teens a Jewish education but also encourage them to become active and engaged Jewish adults is through experiential learning. These studies have shown that experiences in Jewish camps, youth groups, spending a semester in a school in Israel and trips to Israel have a much greater impact on these teens than actually attending traditional classrooms.

 

Therefore Delaware Gratz high school will now be offering grants and scholarships to Delaware teens to attend educational opportunities these opportunities can include; trips to Israel, semesters abroad in Israel, attending Jewish summer camps, attending special programs in Israel or in the United States, as well as many other educational opportunities. The Delaware Gratz Board is committed to continuing to enrich the lives of our Jewish teens by supporting their continued Jewish education.

 

If your teen is interested in applying for a scholarship or grant, contact the Federation office at 302/427-2100.

Experience Jewish Camp

The Delaware One Happy Camper Program provides grants to encourage children to attend overnight Jewish camp for the first-time.  It is not a scholarship fund and is not needs-based.  Our goal is to engage families who are considering sending their children to camp and, in effect, to give them $1,000 off their camp fee to try a Jewish one.
