Testimonials

  • “Our daughter has flourished in kindergarten at IHDS. She is reading at a 2nd grade level, her Hebrew speaking has blossomed, and most importantly, she loves going to school every day.”

    David H.

  • “The meaningful, educational foundation and encouraging teachers at IHDS helped my son keep his natural-born motivation to learn, his pride in his Jewish identity, and his strong sense of self as a contributor to society. Elijah was able to smoothly transition from an intimate, warm, family-oriented elementary/ middle school experience into a large, intimidating high school with incredible confidence and great personal success in his academics, extracurriculars, and healthy friendships with his peers and mentors.”

    Lena S.

  • “Our son was enrolled in the immersion TK program this year, and it has been incredible to watch him grow. He did not know any Hebrew at the start of the year, and is now (9 months later) is speaking full sentences. He is happy to go to school every day, and I know this is the start of a great journey for him.”

  • "When we moved from Israel we were concerned that our special needs twins would not be able to get a Jewish education. IHDS welcomed our family and have given our twins an incredible education. We have seen them grow more with the school than we ever saw with their therapies, despite not being able to be enrolled in therapies yet. We are so grateful for the perfect combination of Jewish, secular, and Zionist education for our family."
