Jewish Community Day School of RI: Be Here

At JCDSRI, we are committed to providing students with everything that they need to learn, grow and explore with confidence and enthusiasm. We journey with our students and provide them with the stepping stones to be successful students, kind and thoughtful human beings and the change-makers of our future. Our intentionally small class sizes and exceptional student-teacher ratios allows every student at JCDSRI to be seen as an individual with unique interests, strengths, challenges and goals. Our students thrive as they develop skills as hands-on learners, problem solvers and critical thinkers within an exciting dual-language environment.
