Paul Penna Downtown Jewish Day School Information

The school was founded in 1998 to address the growing need for a Jewish educational alternative in downtown Toronto. We are a dynamic SK to Grade 8 Jewish day school committed to academic excellence in a warm, supportive environment. The school's distinct program integrates Judaic and general studies while encouraging artistic expression as a tool for learning. Committed to social justice, we nurture responsible citizens and compassionate, confident human beings. We offer students the opportunity to meet their full potential as individuals, Jews and valued members of the larger community. Embracing the values of diversity and equality, students of all Jewish backgrounds are welcome at our school. Our Elementary School, Senior Kindergarten to Grade 6, and our Middle School, Grades 7 and 8, are located at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre. The Middle School, launched in 2006, welcomes students with or without prior Jewish day school education. Come explore new possibilities downtown.
