History and Governance

Today we lead the school; tomorrow our students will lead the world.

In 1981, visionary director Doris Shneidman, two extraordinary teachers, eleven students and their parents believed that having Jewish values intertwined throughout every grade, every day and every educational experience in a pluralistic community Jewish day school would help form the leaders of tomorrow. They could not have known the incredible continuing impact of their vision.

MJDS is built on the same core values today. Our school continues to reflect the academic excellence, innovation and Jewish values that allow each child to thrive. Driving our teaching and learning is a focus on wonder, empathy and tikkun olam that prepares every student to excel in a world that is ever-changing.

We are grateful for our Board of Directors who are extremely dedicated and generous with their time and resources to ensure a bright future for our school and students. Responsibilities of the Board include:

• Establishing school policies to ensure that our mission and vision is pursued and upheld
• Developing and guiding a strategic plan
• Financial oversight of the school, including the budget and fundraising efforts
