A new publication by JESNA's Center for Excellence in Education is the first effort to gather systematic information about programs and models that extend beyond the "traditional" Complementary School model. The compendium focuses on 32 programs that exhibit substantial change in terms of time when the program meets, physical space, content or curriculum, teaching methodology, educator, auspices or sponsorship of the program, and the learners.

The Compendium contains listings in the following categories:

In-home learning programs
Family education
Camps
Tutoring
Parent run
Choose your own courses
Art-focused initiatives
Culturally based
Complementary education programs with online components
Orthodox/Outreach Hebrew Schools

Each entry includes detailed information about the program (goals, methodology, curriculum, cost, assessment) and contact information for follow up.
