High School Division

Ateres Bais Yaakov High School, under the direction of Mrs. Chava Devorah Kahn and Mrs. Sarah Salvay, distinguishes itself as a place where genuine growth happens. In the crucial years of adolescence, our students are given the framework, the tools and support to develop academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. 

 At Ateres high school, our objective is to guide each student to recognize and appreciate her abilities and potential to impact the world around her. Our esteemed faculty members model and teach students to respect adults, peers, and most importantly themselves, as they transition into adulthood.

 In the Limudei Kodesh department, lessons are taught not merely as knowledge but as Toras Chaim- a guide for a fulfilling and connected life. Another fundamental aspect of our Limudei Kodesh curriculum is to teach our students the techniques of understanding and analyzing the Torah texts and commentaries, which will enable them to continue learning independently way beyond high school. Students are encouraged to explore the Torah and Mitzvos with honesty and vitality. Faculty members assist students in developing a personal relationship with Hkb”h b’simcha and a commitment to a life of Torah values.

 Our General Studies department is structured around the New York State Regents. English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies courses meet the New York State benchmarks. Ateres also offers college credits through the College of Mount Saint Vincent in conjunction with Sara Schenirer. This program allows students to take courses in high school and earn credits from the College of Mount Saint Vincent towards all undergraduate programs that CMSV offers through Sara Schenirer. These credits are also transferable to other colleges and undergraduate degree programs.

 Our high school experience would not be complete without our superb extra-curricular program. Our girls have the opportunity to shine in various leadership roles, and to channel their talents beyond the classroom walls. From G.O, Chesed, Mishmeres and Artzeinu to Yemei Iyun, Chagiga, Melaveh Malka, Shabbaton, retreat and so much more, our extra curricular programming infuses the school with ruach and provides countless opportunities for Achdus, learning, and making memories that will last a lifetime.
