“Dear Families,

We are thrilled to welcome you into our community as you seek a Jewish education for your child. At JDS, we welcome all who are interested in building strong, compassionate, and wise students who can stand up for themselves and others.

This is an amazing moment for JDS, where all signs point to a bold and exciting future. Thank you for choosing us and bestowing upon us the incredible and humbling responsibility of educating your child and preparing them to be the upstanders of the future.

Our mission describes the strength and beauty that we all see in action every day at JDS. It clearly articulates the kind of students we are creating—those who are wise AND compassionate. This mission emphasizes the commitment we’ve made as a part of this community—a commitment to creating individuals who know more than just facts and figures. We are creating individuals who will be upstanders, advocating for themselves and others. When combined with learning Jewish education, values, and tradition, we create a transformative experience that changes the lives of children at JDS.

JDS is a Jewish school for all who seek it, where we inquire deeply and engage joyously. What makes us different is what makes us all the same—our deep belief that the “J” and the values it stands for are truly what make us different as a school. We are beyond thrilled to share the message of our beauty, our bold mission, and our commitment to building a future that is bright for today and in the future.

With Gratitude,

Meghan”
