The Jewish Day School of Metropolitan Seattle (JDS) is committed to providing an outstanding Jewish day school education to all who seek it. We continue to find ways to make a JDS education more affordable for all of our families. Due to the success of the Discovery Grant program initiated in 2011, the school is also thrilled to extend community donor supported grants for new families to the 2012-13 school year. Please read about all of our tuition reductions options below.
