MAGEN DAVID YESHIVAH HIGH SCHOOL

Sephardic Jewish families seeking a serious, Torah-observant high school where their child will get Cambridge-level academics, a warm community, and strong college guidance in a familiar cultural setting.

• One of the few American high schools running the full Cambridge International curriculum, which brings external, internationally benchmarked standards to a yeshiva setting.
• A deliberately integrated Science & Torah program that treats science education and religious learning as complementary rather than competing.
• A dedicated college counseling program that parents consistently praise, despite a student body of more than 1,200.
• Scale that brings real resources — arts, athletics, advanced coursework — while still preserving a yeshiva community feel.
• A Sephardic (rather than Ashkenazi) rabbinic and cultural orientation that gives the school a distinct flavor within New York's Jewish day school landscape.

• Tuition is a flat $42,000 with no published discount range — families should plan for the full sticker price and ask directly about financial aid.
• The school is a cultural and religious fit first, an academic fit second; families outside the Sephardic Orthodox community should expect to enroll into a very specific Jewish way of life.
• Demographics are essentially uniform — there is no racial or ethnic diversity to speak of, which matters to families who want that exposure built into daily school life.
• At 1,200+ students, this is a large school; classroom experience will vary more than at a small progressive or boutique yeshiva.
• Bensonhurst is a car-dependent neighborhood compared to Park Slope or the Upper West Side — subway access is good but errands and weekends around school often involve driving.
