Admissions Process
Parents are encouraged to visit the school and meet with our Head of School to learn more about the school’s philosophy, curriculum, and policies. Students are admitted based on academic testing, school records, and teacher recommendations. CJDS welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds. As a community school, our families have varied religious practices and beliefs. A completed application and the required fees are due at the time of registration. In accordance with our bylaws, we accept all Jewish children who have at least one Jewish parent.
