Our pluralistic Jewish community day school prepares and inspires Jewish students through an extraordinary secular and Judaic education to live purposefully, act ethically, and thrive in the world.  We serve approximately 360 students in grades PK-12 on a beautiful campus in southeast Denver.  Our Upper Division comprises around 85 middle schoolers in grades 6-8 and around 65 students in high school.  Our approximately 35 Upper Division faculty and staff come from diverse backgrounds and share a commitment to caring for and educating young people holistically.
