Academics
Middle School
The WDS Middle School provides students with a dynamic learning environment that fosters academic excellence, intellectual curiosity and individual growth. Our administration, faculty and staff work together to instill a love of Torah and mitzvot, a commitment to Eretz Yisrael and a passion for learning. Recognizing that each student is unique and has different strengths and talents, our faculty is dedicated to inspiring each student to work to their greatest potential.
Our Judaic & General Studies curricula provide educational opportunities for students to develop their academic skills and to broaden their knowledge in many different areas. Our student-centered, departmentalized instructional environment promotes participatory learning and independent thinking. Hands-on and experiential learning activities make learning exciting and offer growth opportunities.
Our goal is to produce young men and women who possess the skills and knowledge to become successful members of the greater Jewish community and beyond. WDS eighth graders are sought after by all of the top New York area Yeshiva High Schools. Our graduates are well prepared and many qualify to enter the “honors tracks” and assume leadership positions in their school communities. WDS graduates enjoy a proud legacy.
Who We Are
Westchester Day School is a Modern Orthodox, co-educational, dual-curriculum, toddler to 8th grade Jewish school that inspires and educates our students in their own way to value menschlichkeit, mitzvot, and lifelong learning.
