KIRS Registration

Thank you for your interest in the Kehillath Israel Religious School (KIRS) for the 2025-2026 school year. We are really excited to learn with and from you in the year ahead. 
The first day of KIRS will be Thursday, September 11, 2025, preceded by an Open House on Sunday, September 7 (exact time TBD).

2025-2026 CLASS SCHEDULE* 

  • The K-1 class: Thursday afternoons from 3:00-5:00 pm
  • The 2-4 and 5-6 classes:  Monday & Thursday afternoons from 3:00-5:00 pm 
  • The 7 class: Thursday afternoons from 3:00- 5:00 pm 
Please note that we currently offer pick-up from Pierce Elementary and FRR. We are considering pick up from Driscoll depending on needs.

We have students in most Brookline Public Schools, and if you need assistance getting your child from school to KI, we are happy to assist. Carpools can be arranged and other pickups can be coordinated if there is enough demand. If transportation is an issue, please get in touch.**


Shabbat: A hallmark of the KIRS program is the monthly KIRS Community Shabbat services that take place on Friday evenings throughout the year. 

This year, students and families will be expected to attend KI on THREE Friday nights throughout the year, plus a Shabbaton with programming and activities throughout the day on Shabbat.

We also hope that families will join us for Jewish Holidays throughout the year outside of Religious School hours, which are based on the Jewish calendar. 

More information on these Shabbat and Holidays programs as well as dates will be coming over the summer.
