Jewish Community Day School

Your gift, their future; it sounds simple, but it’s everything. Community support has been and always will be vital to the existence of a pluralistic Jewish day school in New Orleans, and it provides the accessibility without which many families wouldn’t have access to Jewish education.

As JCDS continues to evolve, now with van service from Uptown and middle school expansion, there are opportunities for growth, and with that growth comes a growing need for support. Your gift supports our Jewish leaders of tomorrow by allowing our students to learn about the world, Judaism, and themselves. It creates young people who are critical thinkers, secure in their identity, and excited both about where they come from and what lies ahead. 

Please include JCDS in your GiveNOLA donations.

Testimonials

"At JCDS, my daughter is encouraged to take charge of her own learning experience with the guidance of phenomenal teachers and staff. She gains confidence in academics and is connected to her Jewish faith." 

"My child attended JCDS from PK-sixth grade graduation and is now a straight-A student at a top school in the city. She is confident, resourceful, determined, and always eager to learn and try new things. JCDS offered a challenging academic program while celebrating Judaism. Thank you, JCDS!"

"The commitment of the exceptional teachers and staff of Green Preschool to helping our children develop their creativity and curiosity has been a gift to our entire family.  It is more than a preschool - it's a true community with strong Jewish values that it lives and teaches every day, and we feel so lucky to be part of this community as it grows."
