The Dalet represents opportunity and is compared to a prophesy in Revelation 3:8. The subject is about those who do not deny a name

The Dalet school is a educational institution for children that comprises grades Kindergarten through 12. Dalet School opened its doors in 1976, and is located in the United States of America, Bethel, Pennsylvania. ”Dalet” is the fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet and it symbolises an “Open Door”. This is believed to be the reason for the name “Dalet School”, since it signifies opportunity. Dalet School is operated by the Assemblies of Yahweh. The purpose of Dalet School was to keep children out of the “world” and in a spiritual atmosphere where they could learn academic subjects in a Biblically related, moral environment. Dalet School offers children the opportunity to study, while simultaneously pursuing a greater level of spirituality so as to become respectable individuals.

A Open Door

Dalet is the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and according to commentators, represents a open door . Dalet School was to represent opportunity and is recognized by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to function as a non – public school, The Sacred Name Broadcaster (10/2005 ed.) has published this:

Pennsylvania authorizes Dalet School to issue Diplomas or Certificates of achievement to all students who successfully complete the required courses and comply with Pennsylvanian standards.

— Shaparenko, Raymond, A. (Educator)

In the article, the author affirms that the most rewarding benefit of Dalet School education is assurance that children will behave better and be more obedient in all situations. The Assemblies of Yahweh believe in discipline, but do not believe in corporal punishment. Meyer restates that discipline actually comes from the word disciple, meaning a “follower of teacher or master”. . The main difference between Dalet School and public school is usually imputed upon the atmosphere. According to the the article, public schools often encourage children to break “Yahwehs Laws”, whether through festivity, clothing, speech, conduct, food or drink and therefore, values taught by schools would clash with the values parents were teaching to their children: “…the children were taught to serve Yahweh at home, but were being taught to follow world ways in public school”, this was the premise in which Dalet School was brought in to existence. Those in and around Bethel aren’t the only ones assisted by Dalet School, but also in various other locations around the world (p1). In the SNB (9/2008 ed.) a selection from the Readers Digest appears under the heading “Why Johnny Can’t Read” which takes a similar stand against public schools and the deterioration of public education.

Liberalism Debunked

In p9 of the article, a recognized scholar, Dr Max Rafferty is quoted from in his book “The Future of Education” (1975 – 2000) chapter: “Our Schools and the Future”. Rafferty takes the side of the Assemblies of Yahweh in praising the “old fashioned” idea of small schools rather than consolidation; memorization rather than discussion, insisting: “Schools are designed to teach children, and teach they must”. The Assemblies of Yahweh do not believe children should be taught in a tick box way. They advise that schools should educate how to live, as well as teaching how to succeed academically: Education should be for life.

Dalet School

A Dalet student is
Trustworthy · Modest · Helpful · Friendly · Courteous · Kind · Obedient · Cheerful · Organized  · Respectful · Clean · Moral

Dalet School is based upon what is commonly referred to be the “The three Rs” – an age old curriculum that students are instructed to learn. Reading and understanding is an integral part of Dalet School, and impressed upon the children. This quality is useful for Biblical studies, and would help to explain the extensive Dalet library consisting of literally, thousands of books. Students are required to read a substantial amount of material, but also to make reports on what they have learnt . Other students can review the classes by listening to these former lessons reported.

Simplicity

Dalet school has been described as a simple, yet “moral” school. It does not have the luxury of being state funded and therefore, does not have the sophisticated equipment sometimes evident in public schools, but this tends not to have any bearing on Dalet Schools reputation as a good school. Several of the Assemblies of Yahweh graduates have made Scholastic Amplitude Test scores from 1400 to 1500 (99% level). It is a school that promotes hard work, and is against what Mike Schmoker (educator) referred to as the "Crayola Curriculum". Prayers are offered at the start and the end of a day, and a blessing recited before lunch (including the Shema).

According to a report found later in the same SNB article (p18), the most gratification derived from Dalet School for parents and teachers, is its atmosphere:

Probably the most pleasing result of Dalet School education is in the peaceful, cooperation nature of the students. All of the parents have found a beneficial return for their annual tuition payments. Their children are better behaved and more obedient in all situations
