Jewish Community Day School provides students with inspiring academics along with the skills and habits of mind they need to thrive in their world. Jewish values and inquiry based teaching inspire meaningful learning that lasts a lifetime.
Jewish Community Day School (JCDS) is the Jewish day school of Greater New Orleans. Our mission is to instill a love of learning, invigorated by empowering academics. JCDS is grounded in Jewish tradition where we foster spirituality (emunah), dedication to repair our world (tikun olam) and commitment to the entire Jewish people (klal Yisrael). JCDS is a nurturing school where families of all backgrounds are welcomed, and children are prepared to be engaged, compassionate leaders.
At JCDS we ensure that:
• Students become inquiring, capable youth, who are passionate lifelong learners
• Teachers are dedicated to best educational practices
• Families are engaged in their children’s academic achievement and holistic development
• Ethics and morals of our students are nurtured through commitment to Jewish values
• Positive connections to the language, land, culture and people of the State of Israel are created
• Children are primed for full participation in our global society
