'''Torah Day School of Houston''' is a [[Jewish Day School]] in Houston established in 1977 by the Texas Regional Headquarters of the [[Chabad Lubavitch]]. It offers a Jewish education to grades K-8 in addition to its Early Childhood Center for children ages eighteen months through four years old.

==About==

Rabbi [[Shimon Lazaroff]] opened the school along with parents <ref>[http://www.tdshouston.org/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/424203/jewish/Community.htm TDS Community]</ref> in an attempt to provide quality Jewish and general studies education for the Houston Jewish Community.

For over thirty years its students have received a traditional Jewish education, comprehensive in scope, and a simultaneous general studies program.

The dual curriculum eliminates the need for after school religious classes as it provides daily Judaic learning experiences for pre-school through eighth grade students.
