DUAL CURRICULUM

EXCELLENCE IN EVERY SUBJECT

MHA-CYOS teachers and rabbis truly care about each and every student. Across all grade levels, we offer 194 individually benchmarked courses with pacing guides that align Judaic and General Studies into a coherent, vertically sequenced curriculum.

We offer students in Pre-K through Grade 12 the resources of a top-tier independent school, infused with a soulful and dynamic Jewish education. High schoolers can earn college credit through dual-enrollment partnerships with Touro College and YU Global. Teachers receive structured professional development through BetterLesson coaching and an average of 10 Danielson-aligned classroom observations per year.

We are accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS). MAP assessments in reading and math guide student groupings and interventions from elementary through junior high, ensuring that every student's progress is tracked and supported.
