CJDS provides a comprehensive education in Torah, Hebrew language, and Jewish beliefs, customs and laws, instilling a love of Judaism. Confident in who they are, our students celebrate and take pride in being Jewish.
Intentionally
Affordable
Our goal is to provide a quality Jewish education to all Jewish families who desire it for their children.

CJDS student council went to deliver donations to the Levine Children’s Hospital today. We were thrilled to provide so many desired items that will bring smiles to so many faces 💕 we delivered coloring books, markers, play-doh, paint by number, chapter books, eye masks and fuzzy socks! Oh- AND a check for $400 from generous student donations at snack shop!
LCH provides care to an average of 250 patients each day. The incredible resources and comfort they offer is heartwarming. We visited the Ryan Seacrest Studio, library, chapel, and more. As we drove away, one student remarked, “Wow, next time you feel like complaining, think again- we are blessed!” 😍#charlottejewishdayschool #tk8 #jewishcharlotte #jewishmomsofcharlotte #jewisheducation #levinechildrenshospital
