A small, traditional Orthodox boys' yeshiva tucked into the heart of Borough Park
Best suited for
Orthodox Jewish families in or near Borough Park who want a small, traditional, all-boys Torah education for their sons and value an intimate classroom over a larger institutional setting.
What stands out
- A 5.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is exceptionally low, meaning each boy gets real individual attention from his rebbe.
- With only 72 students across seven grades, classmates grow up together more like a family than a school.
- Rolling admissions means families don't have to hit a hard deadline — they can apply as their needs arise.
- An all-boys format aligns with the Orthodox single-gender schooling tradition many Borough Park families are specifically seeking.
Things to consider
- All-boys single-gender environment is a feature, not a flaw, but only for families whose values and expectations align with that model.
- The school is very small — children who thrive on big peer groups or many same-age classmates may feel the size more acutely.
- Tuition and financial aid data are not in the dataset, so families should ask the school directly about cost.
- Programs, extracurriculars, and curriculum details beyond enrollment aren't available in the data — a campus visit or call is essential.
- Religious families from outside Borough Park should consider the commute, since yeshiva life here is deeply rooted in the immediate community.
Identity
YESHIVA TIFERES BUNIM is a private Orthodox Jewish elementary school (yeshiva) for boys only, serving pre-K through fifth grade. The name itself signals a traditional Torah-based education rooted in the Orthodox community. Note: the dataset's religious affiliation field lists "Church of God in Christ," but the school's name and context clearly identify it as a Jewish yeshiva — this appears to be a data misclassification worth flagging.
Community
Enrollment of just 72 boys makes this one of the smaller yeshivot in the area, and the demographic breakdown shows 100% of students identify as White — consistent with the surrounding Orthodox Jewish community rather than a data gap. Families enrolling here are typically Borough Park residents seeking a same-gender, faith-centered environment for their sons alongside other local boys' yeshivot.
Neighborhood
Borough Park is one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in the country, and the census figures here — a median household income of about $52,500, a poverty rate around 33%, and roughly 20% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher — reflect a neighborhood of large working- and middle-class religious families rather than affluent professionals. The economics are shaped by big households and modest individual earnings, not by deprivation in the usual sense.
Getting here by subway is straightforward: the D train stops at 55 St about a 4-minute walk away, with 50 St (D) roughly 5 minutes on foot and 62 St (D) about 11 minutes away for families coming from other parts of the B/D corridor.
