The goal of the Yeshiva of Belle Harbor is to provide an education that
will prepare our students to excel in education and life. We are
a modern Orthodox Yeshiva with a history of excellence. Our graduates
have become community leaders, scientists, journalists and physicians as
well as Rabbonim.
What
is our Yeshiva all about?
The Yeshiva offers classes starting with Tiny Tiny Tots through the fifth grade.
By limiting our class size to no more than 18 students, we assure our children a
more nurturing and caring environment. We strive for academic
excellence and to reach this goal our principal is involved with each child.
Rabbi Tomsky meets each student when they start in our nursery
and keep a constant watch on each student throughout their academic life
with our school. Our principals have introduced many innovative educational
programs.
The
kindergarten class each year has a program with the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. It is not unusal to see Mondrian and Picasso hanging in our
lunch room. We were the first in New York city to have such a program.
All
of our students have an opportunity to learn in our "State of the Art"
computer lab.
In
Hebrew-Judaic studies, we provide an environment where the children learn
Ivrit b'Ivrit. This means that our children will be able to speak
and understand Hebrew as they go on to higher education. Many yeshivot
will teach chumash or gemorah but that student may still not understand
Hebrew.
We
are a neighborhood school and as such our board of directors is comprised
of Physicians, Lawyers and Businessmen who take time out from their busy
schedules to make sure our school is on the right path. We
have an active parent association that concerns itself with the happiness
and well being of our children. Our parents are involved in their
children's education at home as well as in school.
Tuition
and Scholarships.
Our
tuition is competitive with other Yeshivot and is less than many private
schools. Scholarships are not solely based on financial need.
A student desiring a scholarship must keep a high grade average and excel
in all areas of education and character.
