About MDS

Our Mission

Our core goals are to inspire our children to:

  • Develop a love of Hashem, the Jewish people, Torah and Israel -- through learning and living the texts and traditions of Am Yisrael with joy
  • Cultivate a lifelong foundation of middot and ethics -- through the fostering of a school culture of respect, safety, and kindness
  • Engage in a dynamic exploration of the world around them -- through immersion in the humanities; math, science and emerging technologies; art and music; and the history and culture of our vibrant democracy and global community
