Yavneh students, their parents and teachers are the inheritors and guardians of a priceless legacy. The very name of our school honors the place in Israel where in 66 C.E. Jewish learning and tradition were preserved for succeeding generations. Here, today, is a place where education is a privilege, academic excellence a priority and the bonds of family, school and community meld into one encompassing, living tradition.

Yavneh is a nurturing place for a Jewish child to go to school. Because of our small size and low student-teacher ratio, our students receive the individual attention they need to enable them to grow and learn at their own pace. Their transition from home to school is eased by the familiarity of a warm environment that fosters their Jewish identity, builds their self-esteem and prepares them for unequivocal and responsible citizenship in a secular society.

The sum of Yavneh’s dual curriculum is far greater than its parts. The school’s academically rigorous college preparatory program is enriched by Hebrew language and Judaic studies, and as a result, Yavneh students are bilingual and able to conceptualize and make connections between disciplines with a natural facility. In this enriched learning community, our students develop the intellectual skills necessary for success in high school, university and beyond. Additional languages are introduced in the 7th grade.
