According to recent studies online learning is becoming increasingly
popular among classroom-based and home-based students worldwide. College-level
studies went online soon after the Internet began to be widely used while over
the course of the last decade, high school, middle school and elementary school
studies have become increasingly available on the web as well.
Jewish educational institutions have been slower to integrate online
learning models into their frameworks but today, almost all non-Haredi Jewish
Day Schools and even many afternoon schools are including some form of online
Jewish learning in their curriculum. In addition, many Jewish home-schooling
families and families who live in remote communities where there are no formal
Jewish schools are turning to online Jewish learning as a tool which introduces
Jewish education and Hebrew studies to their students.

a core Jewish learning program for pre-teens and teens who either don’t have
access to a community Jewish school or who don’t fit into their area’s existing
Hebrew/Jewish schools.
