Lower School

Dear Visitors,

Welcome to the HMJDS Lower School. We provide a nurturing environment for children to grow intellectually, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We offer rigorous and creative challenge through an integrated curriculum built upon best practices. And we are uniquely poised to offer a firm ethical and moral foundation built on shared core values and immersion in Jewish prayer and text study. This is an environment in which your child will thrive as a learner and a mensch!

“We offer rigorous and creative challenge through an integrated curriculum built upon best practices.”

We take pride in our:

• commitment to the arts
• climate that nurtures curiosity
• connection with our local community
• fluid and rigorous curriculum
• commitment to professional development
• use of technology
• dedicated faculty and staff
• learning opportunities for the whole family

For the past 21 years I have watched our school grow into a new building, our student body increase from barely 80 to more than 380. All the while, our students have continued to skip down the hall with smiles on their faces. It has been a joyful journey. I invite you to be a part of this journey.

B’shalom,

Helen Siegel

Lower School Director
