Mazel Tov on your child’s acceptance for the 2025-2026 school year!

From the moment we met your family, we were excited about the possibility of welcoming you into our community. 

At VBSDS, children are known deeply and supported as individuals while becoming part of something larger than themselves — a joyful learning community connected to Jewish values, to Israel, and to the Jewish people. Every day, our students are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, develop confidence in their ideas, and build the character and curiosity that will guide them throughout their lives.

Kindergarten is a special year at VBS Day School. It is a time when children develop the academic foundations, independence, and sense of belonging that will shape their entire school experience. We are excited about the possibility of partnering with your family during this important moment.
