At a Glance

An All-Boys Yeshiva with Near-1:1 Instruction in Marine Park

Best suited for

Boys whose families prioritize near-individualized academic attention in a small, single-gender setting and are comfortable with a demographically homogeneous peer group. Best for families who can manage the commute and who want to verify the school's religious affiliation directly.

What stands out
  • Near-1:1 student-teacher ratio (52 students, 49.9 teachers) — essentially individualized instruction
  • All-boys environment serving grades 9-12
  • Extremely small enrollment creates intimate community
  • Located in quiet, family-oriented Marine Park section of Brooklyn
Things to consider
  • 100% white student body with zero demographic diversity — a significant trade-off for families seeking diverse environments
  • Near-1:1 ratio is extraordinary but comes with questions about program depth and social opportunities for students
  • Religious affiliation listed as Church of God in Christ (Christian) conflicts with the Jewish name — families should verify directly
  • Very small size means limited extracurricular options and social depth
  • Car-dependent neighborhood — factor in commute logistics
  • Grade level shows 9-12 but 'Level' listed as Elementary in source data — worth clarifying with school
IdentityThe Near-1:1 Student-Teacher Ratio Suggests An Extremely Individualized Approach To Education, Likely Emphasizing Close Mentorship And Personalized Academic Attention. This Model Works Well For Students Who Thrive In High-Touch, Low-Student-Number Environments.

An ultra-small, all-boys private school with near-1:1 teacher ratio, serving grades 9-12. The school operates with a religious affiliation that parents should verify directly.

CommunityNone — The Student Population Is 100% White, With A Diversity Index Of 0 On A 0-1 Scale.

With only 52 students across four grades, this is a tightly knit community. The student body is 100% white with a diversity index of 0 — meaning there is no demographic diversity. Families considering this school should think about whether this homogeneous environment aligns with their values around exposure to diverse peers.
