History
Ohr Eliyahu Academy (OEA), as it was previously called, was founded in the mid-1980s in Venice, California. As the school grew, Ohr Eliyahu relocated to a former Culver City public school near Kenneth Hahn State Park. After leasing the site for four years the school purchased the campus for $1.4 million in 1999.
New Campus
In April 2009, Yeshivah Aharon Yaakov-Ohr Eliyahu bought the former Daniel Murphy High School campus, located in the heavily Orthodox Jewish populated Fairfax District.
The 2010-2011 school year marked the beginning of YAYOE's use of its newly remodeled 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) campus.
Curriculum
YAYOE offers a dual curriculum with both secular and Judaic studies for students from kindergarten through eighth grade with separate boys and girls divisions. A majority of the Judaic studies program is taught in Hebrew.
The school has music and art programs and various after-school enrichment electives.
YAYOE is accredited by the Bureau of Jewish Education and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
