Pre-Confirmation provides students with social opportunities while helping them develop lifelong Jewish values. Each year, students participate in weekend-long retreats and trips, field trips, community service opportunities, social events, and evening programs.
Experiences include participating in interfaith service projects, spending a meaningful day visiting D.C. memorials, helping run our Temple Purim Carnival, and much more.
Our 8th graders have a weekend retreat the opportunity to participate in our Parent/child Civil Rights Trip as well as regular evening programs featuring authors, movies, special programs, and more.
The highlight of the 9th-grade year are the two weekend retreats, which help our teens discover themselves as they embark on their high school years – this is some of the most important programming any congregation can offer its teens. These retreats are a “rite of passage” for every WHC teen!
Other programs include trips to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, a D.C. scavenger hunt, and other special events. Regular weeknight programming complements the weekend activities, trips, and retreats
"I really like upper school because I feel like I don’t need to be with my friends to have fun ... we are encouraged to talk to other people and make new friends."
Our innovative, experiential, and compelling program engages students to help them learn about Judaism and develop their sense of Jewish identity.
