A large all-girls religious elementary school anchored in Brooklyn's Orthodox Jewish community.
Best suited for
Orthodox Jewish families in or near Boro Park seeking a single-gender religious elementary education for girls within a large, community-rooted setting.
What stands out
- Nearly 2,000 students make it one of the larger private elementary schools in New York City.
- Single-gender, all-girls education from pre-K through fifth grade.
- Religious, Talmudical focus per the school's name, rooted in Brooklyn's Orthodox community.
- A 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio is notably low for a school of this size.
- Located on the Boro Park border, in walking distance of multiple subway lines.
Things to consider
- All-girls only per the data — families seeking coed or boys' education will need to look elsewhere.
- At nearly 2,000 students, the school operates at a scale that may feel impersonal to families used to small settings.
- Highly homogeneous community per the data (100% White, diversity index 0).
- Prospective families should confirm the school's specific denomination, level of religious observance, and language of instruction directly — the PSS denomination field appears inconsistent with the school's name.
Identity
A combined-level, all-girls private school serving pre-K through fifth grade with a religious, Talmudical focus as signaled by its name. With nearly 2,000 students, it operates at a scale rarely seen among NYC private schools. The PSS data lists a religious affiliation, though the specific denomination recorded appears inconsistent with the school's Talmudical name.
Community
Per PSS data, the student body is 100% White with a diversity index of 0, indicating a highly homogeneous community — almost certainly reflecting a single Orthodox community that self-identifies within the broad PSS racial categories. The all-girls enrollment further shapes the school's character. Families here are typically part of a tight-knit religious community.
