At a Glance
A Hasidic boys' yeshiva serving pre-K through fifth grade in the heart of Borough Park.
Best suited for
Hasidic families rooted in Borough Park looking for a boys' religious elementary school that integrates limudei kodesh with general studies in a familiar community setting.
What stands out
- Enrollment of 436 students across PK-5 — a sizable elementary yeshiva by New York standards.
- All-boys setting consistent with traditional Hasidic elementary education.
- Full PK through fifth grade span, so boys can stay in one school community from early childhood through the end of elementary.
- Location in central Borough Park, surrounded by other yeshivas, shuls, and the infrastructure of Orthodox daily life.
Things to consider
- The PSS data lists the religious affiliation as "Church of God in Christ," which contradicts the school's name as a Hasidic yeshiva — verify directly with the school what the actual affiliation and religious program look like.
- Homogeneous student body (100% White, 0 diversity index) — appropriate for the community served, but not a fit for families seeking a religiously diverse or non-Orthodox environment.
- Student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 is on the higher end for a private school, though typical of yeshiva settings.
- This is an all-boys, religiously Orthodox school — it will not be the right fit for families looking for coeducation, secular programming, or a less intensive religious environment.
Identity
A boys-only elementary yeshiva serving pre-K through fifth grade in Borough Park. The school's name and neighborhood context clearly identify it as a Hasidic Orthodox Jewish school, though the available data lists its religious affiliation as "Church of God in Christ" — almost certainly a clerical error, but worth confirming with the school before enrolling.
Community
The student body is reported as 100% White with a diversity index of 0, which is a direct reflection of the surrounding Hasidic community rather than an admissions choice in the conventional sense. Families enrolling here are typically Hasidic, often with ties to the Bobov and related dynasties that anchor Borough Park.
Neighborhood
Borough Park is one of the most densely Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in New York, where daily life revolves around synagogues, yeshivas, and kosher commerce. The census tract shows a median household income of about $52,529 and a poverty rate near 33% — figures that can read differently in Hasidic neighborhoods, where large families and single-earner households (often with a father learning in yeshiva full-time) don't necessarily track material hardship. About one in five adults in the area holds a bachelor's degree or higher.
From the school it's about an 8-minute walk to 18 Av (N), a 9-minute walk to New Utrecht Av (N), and a 10-minute walk to 62 St (D).
