We prepare students to engage, lead and succeed by stoking their curiosities and helping them discover their purposes. Through a unique meld of student-owned learning, an innovation mindset and the development of critical core competencies - in both Jewish and general studies - we cultivate a lifelong love of learning and inspire students to put contemporary Jewish values into action and make a positive impact in our community. At MJDS, students blend their creativity, curiosity and determination to form their intellect and develop as people.
We inspire students to think differently, to take risks and to follow their passions. Throughout the MJDS journey, students learn how to appreciate, respect and collaborate with one another.
Our students and alumni possess self-confidence, self-awareness and pride in their academic pursuits as they endeavor to improve the world.
We provide a high quality Jewish and secular K5 through-8th grade education and strive to have each student embody the highest Jewish moral and ethical ideals and standards in every facets of their life.
We provide our children a foundation of excellence in secular education recognized by the entire spectrum of college preparatory high schools.
The education transmits to our students the rich heritage of our people as expressed in its classical sources, Chumash, Mishnah, Talmud, and codes, and develops in our children a love for, and a commitment to, the observance of Judaism as embodied in the code of Jewish law.
