Denver JDS offers top-notch academics with small classes, amazing teachers, and a supportive environment. The open communication between parents and teachers makes us feel like we're all working together to help them succeed. Our children feel both challenged and cared for, and the staff is always quick to step in when needed. The school also has great extracurriculars-music, art, technology, and sports-that help my kids explore their interests. The level of attention and dedication here makes it an easy choice for our family.With two kids at Denver JDS, I love how the school adapts to each of their learning styles. The teachers are incredible-passionate, supportive, and truly invested in their students. They make learning engaging, whether in secular subjects, Hebrew, or Judaics. Plus, the Wednesday options in the Upper Division get my kid excited to come to school in the middle of each busy academic week! I'm confident that Denver JDS is helping my children discover their best selves, while building a strong Jewish foundation.

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.
