The Columbus Jewish Day School

Faith-based school serving grades K-5 in Westerville, Gahanna & New Albany. State-chartered, so EdChoice can apply here. Funding fit, state record and questions to ask, below.

Where this comes from. School records combine the federal Private School Survey (NCES, 2023-24, with 2021-22 rows for schools that did not respond) with Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) and DEW's 2026-27 non-chartered school list, both retrieved October 28, 2026. "Chartered" means the school appears in OEDS as a chartered nonpublic school, the school type that can enroll EdChoice students; each school also registers as a scholarship provider, so confirm participation with the school. Tuition is not reported to either agency.

Can EdChoice be used at The Columbus Jewish Day School?

$6,166
2026-27 EdChoice maximum, grades K-8

The Columbus Jewish Day School is listed in Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) as a chartered nonpublic school, IRN 132316. That is the school type that can enroll EdChoice and EdChoice Expansion students. For 2026-27 the maximum is $6,166 for grades K-8, paid to the school toward tuition. Schools register separately as scholarship providers, so ask the admissions office whether it is accepting EdChoice students for your child's grade.

Faith-based schools of every tradition take EdChoice on the same terms when chartered; ask about community-funded tuition assistance. The state directory lists it under the Ohio Association of Independent Schools.
