At a Glance
A small all-girls yeshiva with deep roots in the Church of God in Christ — where every student is known by name
Families seeking a small, all-girls religious environment rooted in Pentecostal tradition, who prioritize intimate scale and personal attention over diversity and broad extracurricular offerings — and who live in or are willing to commute to South Brooklyn.
- All-girls environment — rare in NYC private schools
- Tiny scale: under 200 students across four grades means genuine smallness
- 11.6:1 student-teacher ratio — actual small-group attention
- Specific religious identity: Church of God in Christ (Pentecostal) — not the more common Jewish or Catholic school options
- Located in Brighton Beach, a distinctive Brooklyn neighborhood with strong immigrant character
- Extremely homogeneous demographics — 99.5% white student body, virtually no diversity
- Religious focus (Church of God in Christ) may feel narrow or unfamiliar to many families
- Very small enrollment means limited extracurricular breadth and social options
- Brighton Beach location is geographically distant from Manhattan's private school community
- If you're seeking diversity or a secular option, this school represents a significant trade-off
Shulamith is an all-girls religious school with roots in the Church of God in Christ — a Pentecostal denomination. It's small by design, with under 200 students across four grades, creating an intimate environment where teachers know every girl personally.
With 99.5% of students identifying as white and a diversity index of just 0.048, Shulamith is among the least diverse private schools in New York City. There is virtually no racial or ethnic representation. If exposure to diverse peers matters to your family, this is a significant factor.
Brighton Beach sits at the southern edge of Brooklyn, a densely populated, working-to-middle-class community known for its Russian-speaking immigrant population, lively Ocean Avenue commercial corridor, and proximity to the beach. It's a real neighborhood — not the terrain of Manhattan's private school world — with a strong local identity.
The school is accessible but you're likely driving or taking public transit from elsewhere; Brighton Beach is not walkable to most of the city's private school hubs.
