Students at Chicago Jewish Day School develop a love for Judaism, its culture, language and traditions. They explore and experience Jewish Studies through activities, which include art, music, drama and stories. In addition they make connections to Jewish values as they study the weekly parasha, Torah portion. Through their study of Hebrew our students are able to read and understand both modern and ancient texts. Teachers guide students towards developing a deep bond with Israel as they examine its history and current culture. Our general and Judaic curriculum are interwoven together, ensuring that our students feel a connection to their heritage in everything they do.
