At a Glance
An ultra-small all-boys school serving 43 students with a remarkably intimate 3.6:1 student-teacher ratio
Parents seeking an extremely intimate, all-boys educational environment where their son will receive near-personalized attention. Best fits families who prioritize small scale over diversity, who are comfortable with the specific religious affiliation, and who understand that a 43-student school will have limited extracurricular and social offerings compared to larger institutions.
- Exceptional small scale — only 43 students across all four high school grades
- Remarkably low 3.6:1 student-teacher ratio means near-individual instruction
- All-boys environment — no coed dynamics to navigate
- Entirely homogeneous student body (100% White)
- Very small enrollment may limit course offerings, extracurricular activities, and social options
- Zero diversity in the student body — your son won't experience a diverse peer community
- At 43 students total, there may be limited athletic teams and social opportunities typical of larger schools
- Private school tuition applies — cost is a significant factor
- The religious affiliation (Church of God in Christ) may not align with the Jewish-inspired name — worth clarifying with the school
An extremely small all-boys private secondary school serving grades 9-12, with just 43 students total and an intimate 3.6:1 student-teacher ratio. This is not a typical mainstream school — it's built around very small scale and individualized attention.
The student body is entirely homogeneous — 100% White, with zero representation of Asian, Black, Hispanic, or multiracial students. This means your son will be in a school where every classmate shares the same racial background.
