Business Review
"The program at CJDS is unique as there are no other schools that come close to it, with the pluralistic approach, the Reggio style of teaching, and the greater sense of Jewish pride and community. We truly value CJDS and feel that there is no better place for our children."
"I have 3 kids at CJDS and have been continuously impressed at the approach and thoughtfulness of the teachers, staff, and head of school. This really is a place that lives by their philosophy to treat the "whole child", and I'm confident that my kids will turn out to be better people because of CJDS."
"CJDS is a gem of a school in that it successfully integrates a top notch secular education with a multi-denominational Jewish education that is in touch with the modern, always evolving Jewish world. My children love coming to school because they truly enjoy the pursuit of learning in a fun, engaging way. Even more important, they're learning how to be good humans. I couldn't ask for more from a school."
