Our son started at JCDSRI this year and we could not be happier. The strong academic foundation he is getting is only the start; more fundamentally, he is learning that school is a place where his instinctive love for learning and curiosity is continued and furthered. The school truly focuses on the "whole child;" emotional intelligence is fostered just as much as are academic skills. Most impressively, core values such as empathy and gratitude are not just paid lip service: instead, they are woven into the smallest, simplest details of the curriculum, and add up to something pretty profound. As parents with different religious backgrounds, we feel that our shared values have found in this school a perfect fit.

Education hear is truly geared to the whole child. Creativity is nurtured, not squashed. Emotional intelligence is prized and fostered. Children learn to embody important values, and all of it happens amidst a community filled with palpable warmth.

JCDSRI is a gift to the local community, and I urge all parents in Rhode Island (and beyond!) to visit the school to discover the magic for themselves. The school’s educators have a special ability to bring out a child’s true potential by fostering values and skills that are critical for success in today’s world. Moreover, the school welcomes families from so many different Jewish backgrounds and has a unique ability to make everyone feel accepted. In doing so, each student develops their own sense of what it means to be a valuable part of their Jewish community and of the world around them. We are thrilled with our decision to send our children to JCDSRI and of the lifelong education they will receive from this school.

My son has been loving this school---he seems challenged, cared for, and stimulated. Every morning he runs to get to school sooner. The teachers are wonderful and communicative, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the facilities are quite nice. We are very secular, and feel included in a welcoming Jewish community without pressure on us to be different than we are. A wonderful school that embraces diversity and makes it work!
