Beginning in kindergarten, all Denver JDS students study and
learn the Hebrew language on a daily basis. In addition to
providing our students with this tangible connection to Israel and
Judaism, research shows that early second language development

Judaic Studies are learned daily using the finest, leading edge

As a parent of three boys who have attended Denver Jewish Day School since Kindergarten, I can wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional institution. Denver JDS offers a top-notch academic program that seamlessly integrates a robust Hebrew and Judaics curriculum. The smaller class sizes create a personalized learning environment where each child receives the attention and support they need to thrive. The strong sense of community at Denver JDS is truly unparalleled. From the spirited energy at basketball games to the excitement of Color War, the entire school comes together to celebrate and support one another. This positive and inclusive atmosphere extends to the parent community as well. While no school is without its challenges, any issues we've encountered during our 13 years at Denver JDS have been addressed with care and consideration. The school's commitment to open communication and problem-solving has always left us feeling valued and confident in the outcomes. In conclusion, Denver JDS provides a fantastic K-12 education that fosters academic excellence, Jewish identity, and a lifelong love of learning.
