A wide range of individualized instruction is available, including ESL, honors and advanced placement, and Quick Start, a program for students with limited Judaica backgrounds.
In addition to training students to undertake serious study at major colleges and universities, NYHS graduates are fully prepared to continue their Jewish education at advanced religious institutions both in the United States and Israel.
