Curriculum

In developing the JUDA curriculum, our aim was to seamlessly blend timeless wisdom with contemporary insights. This curriculum was meticulously crafted in collaboration with a distinguished professor from the University of Toronto, renowned for teaching leadership courses and authoring a book on the subject.

We focused on nine fundamental pillars that encapsulate the essence of effective leadership. Each week, we delve deep into one of these pillars, providing students with the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge from a guest speaker on the topic.

Students engage in insightful discussions, linking what they’ve heard with the curriculum, all while receiving guidance from their mentors. The Pillars are: 

  • Vision
  • Communication
  • Responsibility
  • Resilience
  • Courage
  • Empathy
  • Empowerment
  • Integrity
