We Lead the Way for Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning is a proven educational philosophy where students are given the opportunity to question, problem-solve, think critically, be creative, and integrate all of the academic subjects they learn every day.

We are Cleveland's Only Community Jewish Day School

We welcome and have respect for all at Mandel JDS. We celebrate diversity and we strive to understand one another's differences. This makes us stronger.

We Know the Mandel Mensches of Today will be the Leaders of Tomorrow

Mandel JDS provides a values-based curriculum where students are encouraged to be kind to one another and make a difference in the world around them.

We Understand that Every Child is an Individual

At Mandel JDS, we believe that all students should be honored for where they are in their development and how they uniquely learn.
