Contra Costa Jewish Day School

Founded in 2001, Contra Costa Jewish Day School (CCJDS) is a Kindergarten through 8th grade independent school serving students and their families from all parts of the East Bay. We believe in the whole child approach to education— fostering the intellectual, physical and spiritual growth of our students. We are committed to providing them with extraordinary teachers, individualized learning, and a vibrant, supportive environment where they develop into critical thinkers and effective communicators. Our academic programs support questioning concepts, connecting ideas, and solving problems within class and community. Our students integrate the core Jewish values of kindness, service, justice and respect for others into the life of our school family in keeping with our Jewish commitment to making the world a better place (tikkun olam). As a community Jewish Day School, we welcome families from all backgrounds. Through our diversity, we seek to deepen connections between CCJDS, the Jewish community, our Greater Bay Area community, and Israel, fostering on-going engagement that emphasizes shared values and outlooks.
