At a Glance
An all-girls Orthodox yeshiva rooted in Midwood's Orthodox Jewish community.
Best suited for
Orthodox Jewish families in or moving to Midwood who want a single-sex, religious elementary education for their daughters alongside a general academic program.
What stands out
- All-girls Orthodox education from pre-K through 5th grade in a single building
- Substantial enrollment of 478 students — one of the larger programs in the area
- Reasonable 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio for a religious day school of this size
- Ocean Parkway address places it squarely in the heart of the Midwood Orthodox community
- Combined-level model keeps younger and older elementary students together, which many families value for sibling continuity
Things to consider
- All-girls only — families who want coeducation or a boys' program will need to look elsewhere
- Curriculum and daily life are shaped by Orthodox observance; families should be aligned with that framework before enrolling
- Rolling admissions means there's no single deadline, but applying well before the school year is wise given the size of the existing community
- Tuition, financial aid details, and any external academic benchmarks are not part of this profile — ask the school directly
Identity
An all-girls Orthodox Jewish day school combining pre-K through fifth grade, with instruction rooted in Orthodox Jewish practice alongside a standard academic curriculum. The school is part of the dense network of Orthodox yeshivas that characterize this part of Brooklyn.
Community
The school draws from the Orthodox Jewish community of Midwood and surrounding neighborhoods — a tight, family-oriented group where many parents have longstanding ties to local yeshivas. With 478 students, it's large enough to offer full grade-level cohorts but small enough that families tend to know each other across grades.
