[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JDS parent here.  We are what's considered a community school.  It's a mitzvah to provide a Jewish education for your child.  So while it is a private pay school, it's a different model than what most DCUMers consider a private school.  JDS does not require testing like many of the other private schools.  Just teacher evaluations and a parent meeting.

There are instances where a child is not admitted.  Usually it is for behavior issues and the admissions committee will do multiple visits to your childs school for observation if that is the case.  JDS wants to help you provide a Jewish education for your child.  There are a few kids that were not admitted for K but parents reapplied for 1st and a year of maturityhelped immensely.  [/quote]

PP, I know this is off topic from the OP's question but since your responded. Does JDS offer generous FA? Just curious because I have one in private (with LD) and grandparents pay. My youngest is asking to attend JDS but we haven't pursued it because we can't afford it. [/quote]

I'm on FA at JDS and I feel it is more than generous.  If you go on the admissions portion of the their website, there is a chart that shows household income to FA likelihood.  It's not as specific as if you make $100k you will get 60% but it should give you an idea of if you would qualify.  They are aware that finances are a concern for many families and are really doing what they can to make it affordable.  I would consider applying and see what happens.  You don't have to agree to the contract until you see the numbers.[/quote]
