At a Glance
An Orthodox boys' day school where Torah study and Hebrew immersion run from pre-K through high school
Best suited for
Orthodox Jewish families in or near southern Brooklyn seeking a single-sex Torah education for their sons from pre-K through elementary and again in high school, who are comfortable arranging middle school (grades 6–8) separately and value a community-rooted, religiously homogeneous setting.
What stands out
- Torah-centered Orthodox day school curriculum running continuously from pre-K through 5th grade and again in high school
- Single-sex boys' education throughout
- Single, straightforward tuition point of $22,315 with no tiered pricing visible
- 11:1 student-teacher ratio, which is fairly tight for a private school
- Accreditation through Torah Umesorah (National Society for Hebrew Day Schools) and listing in the AAARTS College Blue Book
- Combined elementary-and-high-school structure, allowing continuity in yeshiva environment across many years
Things to consider
- All-boys environment — not a fit for families seeking coeducation
- The program skips middle school grades (6–8), so families will need a separate yeshiva or school plan for those years
- Culturally homogeneous student body — limited exposure to broader demographic diversity
- Tuition is modest by Manhattan private-school terms but still a real commitment at over $22,000 per year
- The Gravesend-Homecrest location is car-friendly but not directly on a major subway line — commute planning matters for families coming from other boroughs
- Rolling admissions offer flexibility but yeshiva placements are often decided early, so outreach ahead of time is wise
