At a Glance

A Traditional Jewish High School Where Torah Learning Meets Modern Ambition

Best suited for

Families seeking an Orthodox Jewish high school for sons who want integrated Torah study and college-prep academics in a smaller setting.

What stands out

Focus on Limudei Kodesh with daily Torah study integrated into the schedule
College-preparatory academics alongside religious education
Smaller school setting allows for personal attention (praised by some parents)
Preschool through high school continuum — families can keep children in the same system from PK through 12

Things to consider

Tuition of $18,000 — while moderate for NYC private schools, represents a significant annual investment
