LYA was founded in 1946, in response to the Greater Springfield Jewish community's need for a quality Jewish day school.
In 1999, LYA became the first Jewish day school to be accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
The more than 120 students that the school serves each year from across the spectrum of Jewish life includes orthodox, conservative, reform and unaffiliated families.
The Yeshiva Academy was founded on the principles of Chabad philosophy, which is a way of life that integrates the love of G-d, intellectual knowledge and understanding of the Torah, and the appreciation of the uniqueness of every individual of the community.
Our administration and staff implement this philosophy in all areas of Judaic and secular studies while fostering a supportive environment for all our students.
The Mission of the Yeshiva Academy is to provide and promote the highest quality Judaic and secular education to a diverse community of Jewish children.
Our aim is to cultivate students to reach personal excellence, and to be responsible members of American society.
Within a warm nurturing environment, our focus is to inspire a love for learning, develop academic and social skills, and foster responsibility in each individual child.
