Annual Campaign

The Annual Campaign is a yearly appeal for contributions to help bridge the gap between tuition and the actual operating expenses, and is a way for all members of our community to participate in supporting our school. The Annual Campaign is the primary vehicle for financially supporting our daily programs and operations, including faculty salaries and benefits, curricular materials, professional development, classroom supplies, our art, music and physical education programs and financial aid/tuition assistance.

Every gift will make a difference for Chicago Jewish Day School students. Although everyone must come to a personal decision as to a specific amount to give, we hope that CJDS families and friends will make the school a philanthropic priority. Please mail donations to Chicago Jewish Day School, 5959 North Sheridan, Chicago, Illinois 60660 or call 773-271-2700.

What has moved my wife and me the most are Grandparents Days at the School when our beautiful and enthusiastic students put on a wonderful show, with the help of our great faculty, that can move even a non-parent and non-grandparent in the audience. Such events really show off who we are and what we do and why CJDS is such a special place.

My wonderfully educated 9-year old grandson tutored me in Hebrew for my adult Bat Mitzvah. Dor Ldor!!

There is an atmosphere of learning and love of all things Jewish as well as secular at CJDS. The kids love it; they are very enthusiastic and they are very comfortable with themselves, with the faculty, and with the administration.
