Westchester Day School

Private dual-curriculum Jewish day school (K-8)

Overview

Westchester Day School provides private, Modern Orthodox K-8 education in Mamaroneck with a dual curriculum that combines general studies (English, math, science, social studies) with Judaic studies (Hebrew, Chumash, weekly Parsha). It serves toddlers through eighth grade, organized into lower, middle, and upper divisions, and uses experiential learning and technology (e.g., SMART Boards) on its waterfront campus. Tuition is fee-based but includes an income-based cap using a family's Adjusted Gross Income to make attendance more affordable. The school differentiates itself by offering an integrated dual curriculum guided by the Torah Im Derech Eretz approach, specialized subject teachers, and a long-standing nonprofit, non-sectarian funding model aimed at keeping education accessible. Its goal is to provide a rigorous, well-rounded education that blends Jewish and secular learning to prepare students for high school and beyond in a supportive community.
