Yeshiva University High School for Boys is a private secondary school located on the Yeshiva University campus in New York City, drawing roughly 300 students from the metropolitan area. Most students commute to the northern Manhattan campus, while a portion reside in the on-site dormitory. The school is fully accredited and maintains a dual program that emphasizes both intensive Judaic studies and a broad secular curriculum, with the school day running from 8:10 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Faculty and staff are selected for extensive experience, with a majority holding master's degrees and many holding additional qualifications; many rabbinical staff also have a master's degree in addition to ordination. The curriculum requires four years of Judaic studies and four years of English and History, plus three years each of Math and Science, three years of Physical Education, two years of Jewish History, two years of Hebrew, and two electives. Beginning in the sophomore year, qualified students may take AP courses in several subjects, and advanced learners may pursue courses at Yeshiva College; the school also supports a variety of electives and extracurriculars, including debate, Model UN, College Bowl, choir, student publications, and a chapter of Arista, the National Honor Society.
