Columbus Jewish Day School

We have two daughters in the school (2nd and 4th). We are extremely satisfied with the level of studies, curriculum, and atmosphere. Our girls go to school with a smile. The teachers are wonderful - creative and motivating. They challenge our kids and get the best out of them. The staff does its best to provide high quality education. The school has recently moved to a new buildings with a vast yard ("the nature reserve"). The school educates the kids that being Jewish means being "good citizens of the world". The approach is pluralistic and liberal. Do not hesitate to visit!

My child is now about to finish the sixth grade having been there since Kindergarten. The school should be called The Jewish Montessori of Performing Arts...all pariticpate, all count and all contribute. It is truly the best way to raise a thinking moral grateful child. They are the best accessory to every parent. The kids learn how to be a mensch and how to fix God's world in a joyous, comfortable, supportive environment. I only wish my older children had had the ability to attend this school. Great teacher involovement across classromm lines. Great involvement between the classes to create a cohesive caring environment. What a blessing for all kids and parents to have this school.

What a wonderful school. The teachers do an excellent job of integrating Judaics with the Secular studies. The small classrooms and the two teacher model gives every child the ability to really shine to their highest potential. I am so grateful to have a school like ours in Columbus!

Our kids love the innovative curriculum and the caring, creative teachers, and so do we! Our children thrive at CJDS, and we've been so impressed by the education they have received in general studies, Jewish studies, and the related arts.

Great school. Kids love to come to school every day. Caring teachers and involved parents. Average of 19 students per class with two-teacher model. Integrated curriculum: Judaic Studies and General Studies. Wonderful!

The best. When your kindergartner moves to first grade and is reading at a 2nd grade level and the school's test scores are in the 99th percentile - no denying what a great job they do and the individual attention the children get.
