Inspire

We believe inside every child is a unique spark that ignites limitless potential

Character

Community Day School is an independent, co-ed Jewish day school for students in Early Childhood through Grade 8, distinguished by an exceptional academic program rooted in Jewish values that inspires children to become their best selves.

Engage

We believe the very best classrooms don't always have walls

Engage

Learning by doing—harvesting garden vegetables, climbing Masada at sunrise, touring a Pittsburgh robotics start-up, organizing a Student Council conference, chasing a soccer opponent, competing in a chess tournament, practicing mindful meditation—is at the core of a CDS education.

Connect

We believe in inspiring children to find joy and meaning in a vibrant Jewish life

Passion

CDS students come from Jewish backgrounds of all types, and they are immersed in Jewish values, teachings, and experiences that build confidence in their identity and connection to the land of Israel.

 

Achieve

We believe in empowering students with the knowledge and passion to repair our world

Creativity

Community Day School graduates are resilient, compassionate, and courageous leaders and changemakers who are prepared to excel in high school and top colleges—and in life.
