Country School announces plan
to convert to Judaic curriculum
The Country School Ltd., an
independent non-profit educational
program offering classes for 2-
year-olds through sixth graders an
nounces its transition to a Jewish
Day School. The Judaic curricu
lum is being designed and coordi
nated by Richard Becker, director
of the Country School Ltd., Rabbi
Donald Tam, Hassia Levin and
Gerrie Schwartz, pre-school coor
dinator of the Country School Ltd.
Full implementation of the Judaic
curriculum will begin in August
1987.
The Country School began in
1981 under the directorship of
Richard Becker. Becker earned his
undergraduate degree from Arm
strong College and his graduate
degrees from Mercer University.
He has worked in the field of edu
cation for 20 years. He was the
assistant professor of graduate
studies at Brenau College and has
served as a consultant for the sec
ondary programs for exceptional
children in the Fulton County
School System. He trains teachers
in the areas of reading and teach
ing gifted children for the inde
pendent schools, the Archdiocese
of Atlanta and Fulton County.
Becker currently serves as the reli
gious education director at Temple
Emanu-El.
Debbie Landau Miller, assistant
director of education at the Coun
try School, will also serve as the
secular studies coordinator. She
has worked in the field of educa
tion for 10 years with experience in
the pre-school, elementary school
and administration.
The Country School Ltd. was
designed to meet the total needs of
the children it served and con
tinues to emphasize individual dif
ferences among the pupils in pre
school and the elementary grades,
including their physical, social, cog
nitive and emotional requirements.
The children are placed with ap
propriate groups and are able to
pace themselves and work to their
own potential because of the low
child-teacher ratio.
The pre-school program is an
important part of the school, be
cause it lays the foundation for all
future learning. The program is
multi-sensory, recognizing the
need for concrete learning at this
stage. Many tactile guides and a
very strong art program support
these needs. Music, movement and
an optional extended day program
add enrichment to the curriculum.
Judaic studies will be introduced
and incorporated into the pre
school curriculum through art,
music and language arts. The pre
school department is headed by
Gerrie Schwartz. Ms. Schwartz
has completed 16 years of educa
tional experience at the primary
and pre-school levels. She has also
taught teacher workshops in the
areas of creative holiday arts and
crafts for Temple Emanu-El.
The elementary school oflers
teaching specialists in the areas of
reading and language arts, math,
science, computers, social sciences,
movement, art, music and foreign
language. The program is individ
ualized with continuous diagnostic
monitoring. The curriculum is based
around each child’s strengths. The
children are able to pace them
selves within the framework of
their individual programs. The
elementary program aims to instill
a positive self-concept, the ability
to work creatively and self-confi-
dently on tasks and stresses inde
pendence in learning. Hebrew is
offered in the elementary grades.
The Country School Ltd. is lo
cated in Dunwoody and serves the
North counties community.

AJF to hold Parents Forum
The concerns of Jewish students
and parents relating to religion and
the public schools will be addressed
at a Parents Forum at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday, April 17, at Temple
Emanu-El. The forum, sponsored
by the Inter-Religious Affairs Sub
committee of the Atlanta Jewish
Federation’s Community Relations
Committee, was planned as a fol
low-up to a similar program held
last fall for parents of Cobb
County public school students.
The program will include an
overview of church/state issues bv
a representative from the Anti-
Defamation League of B’nai B’rith
and the American Jewish Congress
as well as an opportunity for par
ents to discuss the issues. Parents
who attended the earlier forum in
Cobb County are encouraged to
attend and participate in the ex
change of ideas and help create a
plan for action.
“Parents have expressed con
cerns over a wide range of issues,”
said Lynda Walker, chairperson of
the Inter-Religious Affairs Subcom
mittee. “We hope these forums will
present a positive means of dealing
with the problems and sensitivities
of Jewish public school students.”
