The school blend of traditional classes and online courses for both secular and Jewish subjects. General studies courses are offered through traditional instruction and use of an online curriculum through the University of Missouri High School. Jewish studies are also provided both in the classroom and by using technology to connect students to educators in Israel, including Rabbi Menachem Leibtag in Israel, founder of tanach.org. In March, the school held an Inaugural Gala at the St. Louis Public Library attended by 200 people.
