The Amos and Celia Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School welcomes applications for Lower School (K-4) and Upper School (5-8) students year-round. No prior Hebrew language experience is required.

One visit to our school reveals how your child can benefit from teachers who creatively nurture intellectual curiosity and inspire social responsibility. Personal attention, small class sizes, and integrated learning help your child achieve academic success, gain self confidence, and develop pride in his or her Jewish and American identity. In addition to a rigorous general and Hebrew/Judaic studies program, your child will receive access to enriching specialty classes such as chess, music, drama, and Spanish—offered to help all students to find their passion and reach their highest potential.

The Day School quickly becomes a school and a community for your whole family. When you volunteer in classrooms, participation in our active Parent/Teacher Organization, and attend all-school gatherings, you become an active participant in your child’s school life. 

Our well-rounded program is enhanced by spacious classrooms, comfortable nooks designed for small group work, technology and science labs, a Beit Knesset (sanctuary), art studios, and a dedicated Campus athletic wing.

As a community day school, the Day School welcomes students from across the spectrum of Jewish practice, valuing pluralism in an egalitarian setting. The school will challenge your child to treasure rituals and respect the wide range of ways people choose to observe and practice religion.

The Day School admits students of any race, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, nationality, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, athletic or other school administered programs.
