Denver JDS students compete during Color War.

• Denver JDS attracts Jewish families seeking an exceptional educational experience for their children integrated with the formation of a richer, deeper Jewish identity.
• Our high-quality teachers are dedicated to academic excellence, love of learning and community building.
• The academic study that is only available in a Jewish day school grows intellectual capacity. For example, our students begin learning Hebrew in kindergarten. Research shows that early second language development enlarges brain capacity and provides students with an academic advantage. Also, studying Torah, written in an ancient idiom for adult native Hebrew speakers, is a task comparable to non-native English learners reading Shakespeare.
• Small class sizes – Our student/teacher ratio in the Lower School is 8:1; in the Upper School 15:1.
• We meet the needs of learners across the spectrum through differentiated instruction, a challenge and enrichment program, advanced placement courses, learning specialists and resource center, and appropriate classes for new Hebrew learners.
• Generous tuition assistance is available to qualifying families, ensuring that every Jewish child receives a Jewish education.
• We offer a strong athletic program and a variety of extracurricular activities.
• Our educational experience leads to critical thinking, creativity, a love of learning and a social responsibility that forms the foundation of a meaningful, satisfying life.
