There are core elements of education that are timeless, and yet the tools and strategies we use to deliver on that education must emulate the world our children occupy.
We take pride in upholding traditions that bridge the many generations of JTD graduates together, but we also know that we have a responsibility to prepare our children to be contributing members of their community, and as such, we emphasize 21st century skills, character education, and service learning.
Our Community
The hallmark of a JTD education is our community's commitment to character education that stems from our core values, affectionately known as The 5C's: caring, common sense, consideration, cooperation, and courtesy.

Culture Corner: December Spotlight
Our school is committed to fostering a community where every individual feels a true sense of belonging and connection. Through intentional programs, initiatives, and resources like our newsletter, Culture Corner, which explores themes of identity, culture, and belonging, we create opportunities for students, employees, families and future community members to feel seen, heard, and valued. Whether through campus activities, clubs, assemblies, conversations, or the books we share, we strive to promote awareness, acceptance, and meaningful connections. One of our cornerstone initiatives is the Family Program, which brings together students across grade levels, along with faculty and staff, into “families” that remain constant throughout a child’s journey at JTD. Through family assemblies and shared experiences, these groups build lasting relationships, creating moments of joy, connection, and mutual understanding.Continue reading › -
