Academics at Paul Penna Downtown Jewish Day School

At Paul Penna DJDS, we provide an outstanding education from SK to Grade 6. The multi-faceted school day is designed to meet or exceed all of the expectations of the Ontario Ministry of Education, and to develop a facility with Hebrew and a deep understanding of Judaism. It is enhanced by an informal curriculum that takes place both outside the regular school day and during recess, with activities such as sports, chess, dance, film-making, and choir.
