Academic Calendar

The Academic Program
The goals of the program at Yeshivat Darche Noam/David Shapell College are the development of independent learning skills, a deep understanding of Jewish thought and observance, and spiritual growth. These goals are best achieved by a period of study of at least one year, on a full-time basis. Periods of study of a more limited duration and students wishing to begin their studies mid-term will be accommodated as appropriate.
