At a Glance

A Tiny, Single-Faith Elementary School in Upper Manhattan

Best suited for

Families seeking a tiny, religiously-affiliated elementary school with high adult-to-child ratios, who are comfortable with a racially homogeneous student body and are specifically looking for a Church of God in Christ educational environment in Upper Manhattan.

What stands out
  • 6:1 student-teacher ratio — exceptional small-scale attention
  • Religious affiliation with Church of God in Christ
  • Serves pre-K through 5th grade in a combined setting
  • Located in family-dense Washington Heights neighborhood
Things to consider
  • Very high tuition for a private school — expect to invest significantly
  • Zero racial diversity in the student body
  • The "Yeshiva" name combined with Christian affiliation may indicate a unique or possibly blended religious program — ask directly
  • Located in a neighborhood with a very different demographic profile than the school itself
  • Small size means limited extracurricular offerings compared to larger schools
IdentityThe Small Scale Suggests A Focus On Individualized Attention And Tight-Knit Community. With 100% White Enrollment And A Zero Diversity Index, This Is A School Where Families Seeking A Homogeneous Religious Educational Environment Will Feel At Home — But Those Looking For Diverse Classrooms Will Need To Look Elsewhere.

A tiny combined elementary school with a 6:1 student-teacher ratio, affiliated with the Church of God in Christ. The "Yeshiva" name in the title is somewhat atypical for this religious affiliation — families should ask directly about what religious education looks like.

CommunityHomogeneous

Extremely homogeneous student body — 100% White, with zero representation from Black, Hispanic, Asian, or multiracial students. This is one of the least diverse private schools in the city.
