Lead School Program 

The Neuberger’s Lead School Program seeks to keep Holocaust education relevant and current for the ever-changing learner. Chosen schools will demonstrate the “next practices” in Holocaust education with unique opportunities throughout the year.

Through specially designed programs that meet curricular goals, Neuberger education experts have developed a series of offerings which incorporate cutting-edge and innovative technology to ensure your school is at the forefront of Holocaust education. It promotes independent learning, builds on critical thinking skills, and creates a pedagogically sound environment where students can discover history and make their own connections to the past.
