Chicago Jewish Day School is a multi-denominational Jewish day school on the cutting edge of best practices in progressive education. As a multi-denominational Jewish day school, our school community is diverse and serves as a reflection of the entire Chicagoland Jewish community. We believe in embracing the whole child, which can be observed immediately when you see our students working and learning in the workshop environment in our classes and see our talented faculty differentiating the educational experience to meet our students’ needs. We take pride in providing a program that works in partnership with our teachers, parents, and students. We have built an extraordinary learning environment that focuses on the development of the child academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, contributing to the education of students who are critical and analytical independent thinkers and lifelong learners. Located in the Irving Park neighborhood, our integrated and experiential learning curriculum is recognized for both our academic excellence and our meaningful approach to Judaic Studies and Hebrew. Together, they create a challenging and thought-provoking curriculum that develops a child’s capacity for complex learning and a strong moral compass. 95% of our graduates gain acceptance to their first-choice high school, including Chicago’s competitive selective enrollment and private schools, where they become leaders in their schools and communities.
