JRDS is top notch. A rigorous academic environment that takes the time to understand each child. Small class size with tremendous resources including library time, foreign language beginning in kindergarten, bi weekly art, computer, gym and music classes. The children are expected to perform and behave at the highest level -- and they deliver. Close Quote
