Discover What it Means to be a Lion
Selecting the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family makes. For almost 60 years, the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School has fostered the growth of confident, compassionate thinkers who engage the world through Jewish values. From Gurim (JK) through 12th Grade, CESJDS provides an exemplary and inspiring general and Jewish education set within a warm and joyful k’hillah/community where every family belongs. We invite you to explore our school and discover why CESJDS is the right fit for your family.
Our children are very different from each other but have been challenged and engaged by CESJDS. The School offers so many courses, sports, and clubs that each child has been able to find what they need to flourish and grow.

No Hebrew?
No Problem!
We are built to teach students at all levels and do not require students to know Hebrew before they join our school at any age.
