"When your kids skip to school because they can't wait to see their friends and learn, when they look at you with beaming smiles after they have finished proudly presenting a project or completing their Siddur ceremony, when they explain metamorphosis to their grandparents or how the Jews fought for Israel's independence, when they hold the door open for others or want to "give before taking" because they have learned about Derekh Eretz at school - these are all results of a USDS education, our caring and involved community, and our wonderful and inspired teachers.". What more could parents ask for?"

“I can say with certainty that, had it not been for the years at the DJCS, our children would not “feel” Jewish and, in fact, would have been lost to the Jewish community, assimilated like so many other non-affiliated Jews.“

“My kids are getting a fantastic education. It’s more than solid math and science skills.  They are learning to imagine.  They are using their creativity to think outside the box and solve problems.”

“ I am delighted with the progressive nature of the program and the dedicated teachers.  The innovative direction of the School has brought about many significant learning experiences for all of the children.  As the curriculum has evolved over the last few years, new resources have been introduced and enjoyed by the students.  My children feel welcome and part of a wonderful community.  Without a formal Jewish education, a child cannot experience a sense of community and the very important social aspects that my children thoroughly enjoy.”
