Our core values are wonder, empathy and tikkun olam, inspiring students in grades 3K-8 to own their learning and live their Judaism in a meaningful way. Wherever your family is on your Jewish journey, we welcome you into our community. MJDS will enrich your child’s Jewish identity as they respectfully explore, debate and embrace both Jewish life and secular learning. In combination with our student-owned learning, we provide high academic standards in the classroom that transform students into mensches, problem solvers, critical thinkers and leaders. MJDS offers personalized, focused attention to meet each child where they are at educationally, and every family where they are financially.
