The Yeshiva Academy is a progressive, modern school that welcomes all Jewish children.
Our rich, challenging curriculum helps students achieve the intellectual and social skills needed to succeed in their lives and careers.
At the same time they gain appreciation for the values of Jewish life and are taught the tenets of good American citizenship.
At a time when many public schools are eliminating the arts, at The Yeshiva Academy music and arts programs continue to thrive.
We believe art instruction helps students build confidence, creativity and an appreciation for culture.
The Yeshiva Academy is one of the few schools in the nation to receive a full Cognitive Learning Systems grant, resulting in a new, fully equipped science lab and the application of an innovative teaching method, based on how children of different ages learn.
