"JPDS-NC is the school we've always dreamed of - caring, rigorous, and, above all, a spiritual home."
--David Brooks, JPDS-NC parent, author, and Op-Ed columnist, The New York Times

"We send our son to JPDS-NC because he says that in this school, they really LIKE kids."
--Rabbi Kenneth Cohen, JPDS-NC parent and Executive Director, Hillel of American University

"There are a lot of places you can go to get a good education. But there aren't a lot of places where you can learn to be a good person. Ultimately, I think that's the most important thing about JPDS."
--Orit Frenkel, JPDS-NC Parent, Consultant, General Electric

"We chose JPDS-NC for our daughter because we wanted her to have a first-rate secular and Jewish education in a wholesome and pluralistic environment. And now after seven years of enrollment at JPDS-NC we know that we made the right decision."
--Sen. Joseph Lieberman, former JPDS-NC parent, U.S. Senator from Connecticut

"My JPDS education prepared me for the rigors of middle school by allowing me to get comfortable in a learning environment with smaller classes."
--Daniel Lew, JPDS-NC Graduate, Class of 1998

“JPDS has contributed immeasurably to the happiness of my child. His character, his Jewishness, and his general education are all being built up in tandem in some wonderful way….What’s so special about JPDS?  I would say:  Pluralism at a high pedagogical and psychological level.  There is no consumerism or dilettantism.  Once JPDS decides to do something, it insists on doing it right.  Once it adopts a purpose for itself it masters all the details necessary for the realization of that purpose.”
 
Leon Wieseltier, JPDS-NC Parent, Literary Editor, The New Republic
