Bruchim ha’bayim (welcome) to our admissions page!

Thank you for your interest in Chicago Jewish Day School! We are thrilled to provide in-person learning for our students. Smiling faces abound as we welcomed students back to school. Watching our students and educators enter the building and engage in learning feels like nothing short of a miracle.

This year our theme is "Hinneh mah tov umah na'im shevet achim gam yachad," which translates to: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for people to sit together in unity.” This theme represents how our sacred texts transcend time and provide a relevant message for our modern world.

Throughout this pandemic, Chicago Jewish Day School has served as a leader in the educational world, providing innovative and engaging online learning that mimicked being in school. As we return to in-person classes, our innovative thinking is evident in the thoughtful ways we reopened our school and welcomed back students. I can't imagine a more exciting time to be a part of the CJDS community.

Learn more about Chicago Jewish Day school by scheduling a tour. Fully vaccinated parents are welcome to schedule a tour of our campus by appointment on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. Additionally, for your convenience, you can also schedule an individualized Zoom tour with me anytime Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tell us about your child and request more information by submitting an inquiry.
