Maimonides Jewish Day School was founded in September 1985 to provide a nurturing and challenging education for children. From that time until today, MJDS has placed children at the center, encouraging each child to flourish through personalized as well as classroom community learning. At Maimonides, our aspiration is to provide a strong foundation upon which every child may build for a lifetime.
The mission of Maimonides Jewish Day School is to provide and
promote the highest quality Judaic and Secular education to a
diverse community of Jewish children. The Maimonides program
synthesizes traditional Jewish learning with progressive education
theory to create an academically engaging environment designed to
foster a lifetime love of learning. MJDS teachers inspire a love
for Judaism, and provide the tools for every child to reach
personal excellence and the foundation to be responsible,
compassionate members of society.
Vision:
Maimonides Jewish Day School is a welcoming community committed
to educating Jewish children according to Orthodox tradition in a
positive atmosphere infused with kindness and respect for all. Our
graduates are able to fully participate in both Jewish and secular
educational institutions of the highest quality. We instill our
students with knowledge, values, and experiences to ensure
meaningful, intentional lifelong connections to Judaism and Jewish
living. Our approach to education is holistic and cooperative; we
understand that educational success is collaboration between
teachers, parents, community and students.
