The day school/yeshiva ecosystem in New York City comprises hundreds of schools and a student population of over 150000 and growing. The human and financial resources needed to drive towards excellence and innovation is breathtaking in its scope and scale. Beyond the numbers the New York day school and yeshiva community also encompasses subsectors that are vastly dissimilar in their ideologies their approaches to governance and leadership in their educational priorities and in the learning needs of their student populations. Indeed our schools range from those that compete with the citys most cutting-edge private and public institutions to those that cannot afford to hire trained teachers.

We are committed to bringing the most creative solutions to a field that must remain relevant and meaningful in the lives of Jewish youth and their families today and tomorrow. For more information about The Jewish Education Project and the Yeshiva and Day Schools team please visit and
