Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor
For 50 years, we've led Jewish education in Ann Arbor, serving Young 5s through 5th grade. Our distinctive approach combines academic excellence & discovery through modern, individualized learning. Our students excel on NWEA assessments and are well prepared for top middle schools. Right-sized classes foster meaningful connections and personal development, creating lasting communities that build character: our alumni credit HDS as formative influence. Authentic Jewish life & learning integration weaves pluralistic Judaic studies, Hebrew immersion, and values throughout our curriculum. Committed to accessibility through tuition assistance, we welcome all Jewish families, including interfaith, creating an inclusive community where every family belongs.
Detroit Country Day School
At Detroit Country Day School, every child’s talent, strength, and skill are discovered and celebrated. With a foundation built on the motto “Mens sana in corpore sano” (“a healthy mind in a healthy body”), DCDS offers more than just rigorous academics—it’s a vibrant, co‑educational community where challenging learning, creative arts, and competitive athletics come together to inspire growth, curiosity, and character. From PK3 through grade 12, students thrive in small‑group settings, explore their passions, build meaningful relationships, and prepare for a future filled with possibility. DCDS is more than what you achieve—it’s who you become.
