JCDS Today

JCDS is continuing to grow, within the guidelines of our strategic plan of several years ago. There are currently about 170 students enrolled in the school (9/2007). Our long-term plans are for a school of about 220 students.

The school program is thriving in a permantent facility we took over in the summer of 2003. We designed this former office building with a wonderfully collaborative effort in which all constituencies of the JCDS community worked with a team of talented architects.

Our contact information follows. Give us a call or send us an email to visit the school!

JCDS is located at 57 Stanley Avenue, Watertown, MA 02472.

Tuition for the 2007/2008 school year is $17,800 for Kindergarten, $18,850 for Lower School (grades 1 through 4), and $19,600 for our Middle School classes (grades 5 through 8). The school's Flexible Tuition Program serves families for whom paying full tuition is not realistically affordable.

There is an After School Program at additional cost, available until 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and available for shorter hours on Friday, with closing times linked to the onset of Shabbat.

The school environment includes child-centered education, religious pluralism in an atmosphere of respect, English and Hebrew throughout the day, integration of Jewish and general studies and a warm welcoming learning community.
