At a Glance
A very small all-boys yeshiva where Torah study and general studies sit side by side
Best suited for
Families seeking a very small, all-boys yeshiva experience for their high-schooler — especially those who want a Torah-plus-general-studies program, thrive in an intimate setting of roughly 40 students, and are comfortable with the school's reported demographic profile.
What stands out
- Extremely low 2:1 student-teacher ratio across 40 students and 20 FTE teachers — essentially tutorial-scale contact.
- Dual Torah-and-general-studies curriculum with an Advanced Regents diploma track.
- All-boys secondary environment specifically structured around yeshiva life.
- Trips and Shabbatons built into the school program, extending learning beyond the classroom.
- New York State Board of Regents accreditation.
Things to consider
- Very small enrollment (40 students total across four grades) means limited peer groups, narrow course breadth, and a social life that's tightly interwoven — great for some kids, isolating for others.
- Demographics are reported as 100% White with a diversity index of 0; families prioritizing a multicultural environment will want to weigh this.
- Religious identity is central — families should be aligned with a yeshiva worldview and the Torah/general-studies balance the school sets.
- Tuition and detailed financial information aren't listed in the data provided, so cost is worth asking about up front.
- Rolling admissions with no stated deadline, but space is inherently limited at this size — early inquiry matters.
Identity
A small all-boys yeshiva serving grades 9–12, built around the idea that every student has greatness worth unlocking through a dual curriculum of Torah study and general academics.
Community
A small, close-knit all-boys student body of about 40 teens in grades 9 through 12. The school reports a single demographic category — 100% White — meaning families should expect a culturally uniform community.
Neighborhood
The school sits in Gravesend (East)-Homecrest, a middle-income Brooklyn neighborhood where median household income is about $69,445, the poverty rate is roughly 16.7%, and about 40.9% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The area is largely residential with a mix of long-established Brooklyn families.
Commuting is easy from the F line — Avenue U (F) is only about a 3-minute walk away, with Kings Hwy (F) and Avenue U (N) each roughly a 9-minute walk. That makes the school accessible from a wide swath of southern Brooklyn.
