Why CJDS
Academically
Excellent
Guided by outstanding teachers, CJDS students tap into their strengths becoming more resilient, more motivated, and more accomplished learners. Our rigorous curriculum in general and Judaic studies fosters creativity and critical thinking and prepares students to outpace their independent school peers.
Essentially
Jewish
CJDS provides a comprehensive education in Torah, Hebrew language, and Jewish beliefs, customs and laws, instilling a love of Judaism. Confident in who they are, our students celebrate and take pride in being Jewish.
Intentionally
Affordable
Our goal is to provide a quality Jewish education to all Jewish families who desire it for their children. So we have developed a way to make tuition as affordable as possible for as diverse an array of families as possible. Our confidential Tuition Affordability program tailors costs, enabling parents from all walks of life to choose CJDS.

Over winter break, our fabulous electives teacher, Mr. Mendel, offered and organized a fun, healthy, and meaningful outdoor adventure.
A group of students embarked upon a day long outdoor hike near Charlotte through Friendship Circle’s UMatter program — it was a perfect chance to get outside, move our bodies, unplug, and connect with friends in nature while supporting whole-being wellness. Time in nature, movement, and positive connection all play a powerful role in supporting kids’ emotional, mental, and physical well being. There’s nothing like the great outdoors! 🍁 🌲 #jewishcharlotte #tk8 #charlottejewishdayschool #cjds2025 #jewishmomsofcharlotte
