FRAMINGHAM, MA – The MetroWest Jewish Day School, (MWJDS), has been chosen as one of several area Jewish day schools to share a $2 million Special Education grant from the Peerless Excellence Project. “Our board of directors has expressed its commitment to being a school for the entire Jewish community”, says Head of School Carolyn Keller. “We serve students from a variety of religious and socioeconomic backgrounds and are committed to a philosophy of inclusion”.
The school plans to hire a half-time Special Education Coordinator to provide services for students with special needs. MWJDS opens for its third year of operation in September 2005 and will have students from Framingham, Ashland, Natick, Sudbury, Maynard, Holliston, Hopkinton, Stow, Marlborough, and N. Chelmsford. Conveniently located for families in the 20 Metrowest cities and towns, our transdenominational environment provides an integrated Judaic, Hebrew, and general studies curriculum.
MWJDS is a pluralistic community day school educating children in grades K-3, adding one grade annually through grade 8. Limited openings exist.
