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.
By the Numbers

We may be small, but we bring the heart and the opportunity for everyone to participate in a team.

Our cross country team also had a meet and ran like fierce competitors.
✨Small school, BIG spirit! 🏐🏃♀️✨

🍁 Nature is proven to calm the mind, improve mental and physical health, and help teach patience. 🍂
🪴 Get outside, like our CJDS gardening club does when they meet each week to grow, plant, propagate, dig and repot.

🪨 CJDS sixth grade students dive deeply into the Paleolithic Era as part of their World History unit. When studying early humans, Neanderthals, and simple tools, the focus is on how human ancestors adapted to their environments and used technological innovation to survive. Today, students had to build their own simple tools, from rope, sticks, stones and paper.
🔨 What would you use to create a hammer, using only objects in nature? Could you survive as our ancestors did!? #jewishcharlotte #tk8 #charlottejewishdayschool #jewishmomsofcharlotte #jewisheducation
