MISSION STATEMENT

YULA is a Modern Orthodox Yeshiva High School, dedicated to cultivating an unwavering commitment to Halacha, Torah values, outstanding academic achievement, and exemplary moral conduct.

THE THREE PILLARS

YULA’s mission and underlying principle, laid out in the Three Pillars of a YULA Education, is that we stress the PRIMACY & RELEVANCY OF TORAH, an UNCOMPROMISING GENERAL STUDIES curriculum, and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT at the highest level. As a proud Yeshiva high school, our aim is to instill within our students a passion for Torah learning, refined middot tovot, and love for Medinat Yisrael.

We dream big at YULA. That’s because we have great aspirations for our graduates. A YULA graduate is able to live with his feet firmly planted in two distinct worlds: the Beit Medrash, with the skills, inspiration, and passion to make daily Torah study a lifelong pursuit, as well as the broader world around us, with the education and training that will open every possible academic and professional opportunity, ultimately leading to a passion-driven career path. Graduates of our yeshiva leave with a firm foundation in both Torah studies and general studies, as B’nei Torah who are firmly rooted in Jewish tradition, ready to make an impact on the wider community. Armed with deep and meaningful relationships with fellow classmates, rebbeim, and teachers, they are poised to make growth a lifelong pursuit.
