Community Day School Love the learning, Live the Values 

The gift of a Jewish day school education is your best investment in your child’s future.


Tuition dollars enable CDS to provide outstanding academics in a dynamic and engaging learning environment, while making a profound impact on our students’ Jewish knowledge and identity. Tuition allows us to sustain our individualized approach to education, invest in stellar teachers and innovative curricula, and commit to the technology and resources that prepare our students to meet the complex challenges of the 21st century.

We recognize and appreciate that choosing to send a child to Jewish day school reflects a significant commitment for every family. This investment in your child’s formative early years is a gift that lays the foundation for a successful future in high school and beyond. Our families know they can measure the value of a CDS education in each graduate’s skills, confidence, strong character, and Jewish connection.
