As the only Jewish day school in the nation’s capital, MILTON students benefit from the school’s urban location and the expertise of our community of public servants, scientists, business leaders, academics, artists, and other professionals who enrich the academic experience of our students.
MILTON is a vibrant, pluralistic Jewish day school where students, families, and faculty mirror the diversity of Jewish practice in the community. Our warm, close-knit community shares in each other’s lives, learns together, participates in a variety of family and adult programs, and contributes to local and global communities through civic engagement.
The school serves more than 470 students in Pre-K – Grade 8 at our Kay and Robert Schattner Center North and South Campuses.
Think MILTON could be your child’s home? We would love to meet you to see if there might be an opportunity to welcome your family to ours.
It has been ten years since the South Campus of Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School opened its doors to welcome the youngest members of our community. The dream of JPDS faculty, leaders, and families in 2012 has grown into a vibrant learning community.

Remember our 5th graders who wanted new roof equipment? Our 2nd graders have a response: their roof playground design project!
Students designed playgrounds inclusive to children across all grades, including those who might have different limitations or needs. They presented their models to a real playground designer (and MILTON parent), who shared some of his designs too. These students are spreading kindness by thinking about their community`s needs, a key part of their city planning project.
