Milwaukee Jewish Day School is a private school in Milwaukee’s north shore community. Established in 1981, it offers a curriculum centered on Jewish teachings and a shared Jewish heritage. The school serves students in preschool through eighth grade and strives to connect Jewish values to every area of its educational program.
Beyond math, science, social studies, and language arts, Milwaukee Jewish Day School students also study Hebrew and Judaism in small classes. In addition, artistic enrichment programs expose students to calligraphy, cooking, guitar, sewing, theater and dance, and woodworking.
Athletics are also a core component of the school’s educational program. Milwaukee Jewish Day School’s athletic programs focus on building teamwork and learning sportsmanship with a no-cut policy and equal playing time for all participating students. Teams and clubs are open to students of all abilities, including cross country, flag football, basketball, volleyball, track, and tennis.
Located just blocks from Lake Michigan, the school is a draw for Milwaukee-area Jewish families who want their children to receive a highly rated and progressive education that’s also an immersive Jewish experience.

The Milwaukee Jewish Day School is no longer the stellar, growing, and tight-knit community that many older reviews would indicate and this reviewer would have once agreed with. Over the last few years, under the leadership of Aaron Lippman and Jori Broidy, the school has seen remarkably high staff...
