The mission of the Minneapolis Jewish Day School is to provide academically challenging and developmentally appropriate curriculum in general (reading and writing English, math, ecology, fitness, music) and Jewish (Hebrew language, Torah study and prayer) studies in an environment in which students feel positive about themselves and others. The Day School community is committed to academic excellence and to the pursuit of learning as an exciting, useful and life-long venture. We challenge our students to exemplify the highest values of Judaism and of American democratic principles. The school strives to reflect and teach respect for the diversity of Jewish life, resulting in a true community day school.
“MJDS has achieved its mission by creating a community committed to inspiring life-long learning and security, academic growth and the spiritual safety for its children, families, staff and lay leaders.”
