Thank you for your interest in our nurturing and growing school! Children from newborn through 5th grade are welcome to apply for the 2025-26 school year.

 

Cutler Jewish Day School (CJDS) is a place where children’s hearts and minds truly soar. Here, academic excellence is paired with a warm, nurturing environment, creating a loving space where every child feels valued and celebrated. With small class sizes and low student-teacher ratios, every student receives the care and attention they need to thrive—not just as learners, but as unique individuals.

​

At CJDS, Jewish life comes alive in the most beautiful way. The school is filled with the spirit of tradition, values, and joy, inspiring students to embrace their heritage and carry it proudly into the future. From the warmth of Shabbat celebrations to the shared excitement of holidays, every day is infused with meaning and connection.

​

The classroom doesn’t end at four walls—CJDS embraces the beauty of outdoor education, where students learn by exploring, discovering, and engaging with the world around them. Whether through our “Woods Buddies” program or experimenting in our outdoor classroom, this approach enriches their minds and nurtures their souls.

​

CJDS also instills a deep sense of community and purpose, teaching students the importance of kindness, responsibility, and making a difference. Through community activism, they learn that even small acts can have a big impact, shaping them into thoughtful, compassionate leaders.

​

Above all, CJDS is a place where every child is cherished. Each student is seen for who they are and supported in becoming the best version of themselves. It’s a school where dreams take flight and children feel deeply loved, encouraged, and inspired.

​

At CJDS, we believe in a world where hearts and minds can soar—and every day, we help our students reach for the sky.
