Your Family Is Part of What Comes Next

Every day at VBS Day School, our students are growing through joyful Jewish life, meaningful relationships, and an education that inspires curiosity, confidence, and purpose. Together, we are building a school where children can thrive today while preparing to make a meaningful difference in the world tomorrow.

Tuition provides the foundation for a VBS Day School education. Philanthropy helps us go further by investing in exceptional educators, strengthening teaching and learning, expanding opportunities, and creating the spaces and experiences that make our vision for the future a reality. Your gift is an opportunity to invest not only in our students, but in the future of our entire VBSDS community.

  • Donate Directly Online

    Gifts can be made quickly and securely at vbsds.org/give. Donors can give using credit card, debit card, or ACH transfer.
