Educational philosophy and curriculum

The school states that its primary educational emphasis is to produce students proficient in Torah study both skills and knowledge, and who value Jewish ethics and character traits. As such, religious studies are given primacy relative to the curriculum of secular education taught in the school. The Yishiva was givin an award by the Milken Foundation for one of the best teachers of the year. the award was given to the 9th grade Rabbi, Rabbi Klein.
Student body
The school has a student body of approximately seventy boys from various areas of Los Angeles, the majority of which live in the Pico-Robertson, Fairfax District and San Fernando Valley areas. The school also has a dorming option in which students from out of the Los Angeles area stay in an apartment with a dorm counselor. Students who dormed have hailed from cities such as Palo Alto, San Diego, and Phoenix, Arizona. The school is thus primarily a day school, but also functions as a boarding school.
