Statement of Philosophy and Mission

 

The Yeshiva University High Schools has as its educational mission to teach and perpetuate the values of Torah and secular studies.  We are thus dedicated to preparing our students for adulthood both as knowledgeable and committed Jews and as broadly educated, intellectually curious, and caring members of the general society.  The High Schools provides a challenging academic program in an atmosphere that encourages adherence to the traditional ideals and practices of Orthodox Judaism.  It is designed to motivate Torah living—striving to become ever more devoted to G-d, Torah learning, personal integrity and ethical behavior basic to Jewish life and participation in contemporary society.  Genuine concern for the welfare of others, observance of the Mitzvot, love of the Jewish people, and pride in our Jewish heritage and values should characterize the intellectual goals and the daily behavior of our students.  We expect each student to identify wholeheartedly with the destiny of our fellow Jews throughout the world, to exhibit loyalty to Eretz Yisrael, and recognize the modern State of Israel as the fulfillment of a religious Zionist vision and as the spiritual homeland of the Jewish people.  The creation of the State of Israel is one of the seminal events in Jewish history.  Recognizing the significance of the State and its national institutions, we seek to instill in our students an attachment to the State of Israel and its people as well as a sense of responsibility for their welfare. Moreover, students are expected to be loyal, law abiding citizens of the United States of America.  Our commitment to Torah U’Madda requires students to pursue all academic studies with the intent of becoming more understanding of the world and its mysteries, to work hard at personal academic achievement and to maximize intellectual potential.  It is our hope that each student will seek to enrich the high school experience by involvement in co-curricular activities both at school and through communal participation.  The programs, both academic and extracurricular, reflect the primacy of Torah, as well as the importance of secular studies, and strive to enable our students to gain acceptance to the best universities.
