JDS was founded in 1980 by a small group of community leaders who longed to provide an intensive general and Judaics program. They wanted this type of 'whole child' education to be delivered in a Jewish environment and made available to every child regardless of Jewish lineage. The region’s first “community” day school opened as a K-2 in the former Temple de Hirsch facility in Bellevue with 32 students and moved to its current facility, a former Bellevue elementary school campus, in the mid-1980s. Today, JDS serves more than 225 students in Preschool through Eighth Grade on a beautiful five acre campus in Bellevue just south of Microsoft's main campus. Our recent Capital Campaign allowed us to enhance our campus with a state of the art Athletic Center as well as athletic field, track, basketball courts, playground equipment, landscaping, new buildings and other classroom renovations.
