Curriculum

Elementary School

Our K-5 curriculum consists of an evenly split day between Judaic and General Studies. Our Judaic Studies are taught completely in Ivrit (Hebrew language) in elementary school. Our general studies curriculum covers English, Math, Social Studies, and Science while our Judaic studies curriculum focusses on Torah, Nevi’im, and Ketuvim. The K-5 students also have twice-weekly specials in Art, Music, P.E., and Social Emotional Learning.

Middle School

Beginning in 6th grade, our students’ days are divided by subject with an even split between Judaic and general studies courses. English and Math are tracked by level starting in middle school to give each student the greatest chance at success. While Judaic studies are no longer taught solely in Ivrit, the students have a separate Ivrit class that meets once a day. Including Art and P.E. which are offered twice a week, there is a total of 33 courses offered to our middle school students!

High School

Much like our middle school, the high school classes are tracked based on each student’s educational needs. There are a total of 28 courses offered in high school, with an additional 11 AP Course options depending on student interest. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves and learn their Judaic studies in Hebrew, but English taught Judaic studies are offered as well.

Annual Event FAQ

Denver Academy of Torah Annual Event 2026

Q1

Will this annual event be like previous years?

Yes and no! This year, we are excited to have a theater-style seated concert, featuring the acclaimed band Zusha, instead of a typical banquet-style dinner. Before the concert, there will still be ample food and beverage stations throughout the reception area! Ahead of the feature performance, we will begin the program with inspiring updates about DAT and our incredible students, like we usually do at our annual event.

We are excited for the new format to create a warmer, family-friendly atmosphere, while maintaining the elevated feel of an annual event. Attire will be Colorado Cocktail.

Q2

Is this event for the whole family?

Typically, DAT's Annual Event is primarily for adults, however due to the exciting nature of this year's concert, we are also welcoming students to attend (limited student tickets are available for purchase).

Q3

Are students going to be in the same space as the adults?

During the reception, the students will be in a separate room with supervision and their own food and activities. They must be accompanied by an adult to attend the event, but all adults can enjoy the reception while students have their own programming. Everyone will come together for the program and concert.

Q4

When and where exactly is the annual event?

Exact details are being withheld for security purposes. We have started sending the time and location out to those who have registered and been vetted, and will continue to do so on a regular basis until the day of the event.

Q5

Why should I attend the annual event?

The annual event is one of the only times that parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, staff, friends, and supporters come together to celebrate and show appreciation for the school community and all DAT provides its students, the future of our Jewish community. This event is open to the entire Denver Jewish community.

Q6

Is the annual event a fundraiser?

Yes! All funds raised from the Annual Event go toward DAT's annual campaign, which is a critical component of DAT's annual operating budget. Tuition dollars alone do not cover the cost of a high-quality general and Judaic studies education rooted in Torah values.

This funding helps provide our students opportunities in STEM, sports, the arts, community engagement, leadership initiatives, service projects, real-world internships, and engaging Israel programming. Funds raised also help ensure that a DAT education is accessible to the broader Jewish community of Denver.

It takes the generosity and commitment of a strong and united community - including parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni families, and community members - to ensure DAT's ability to provide students a foundation for Jewish life and prepare our alumni to be the next generation of Jewish leaders.
