Why CJDS
Academically
Excellent
Guided by outstanding teachers, CJDS students tap into their strengths becoming more resilient, more motivated, and more accomplished learners. Our rigorous curriculum in general and Judaic studies fosters creativity and critical thinking and prepares students to outpace their independent school peers.
Essentially
Jewish
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. So we have developed a way to make tuition as affordable as possible for as diverse an array of families as possible. Our confidential Tuition Affordability program tailors costs, enabling parents from all walks of life to choose CJDS.
