The Yeshiva Boys Division is for boys in grades 7 through 12. Yeshiva’s curriculum consists of three levels of high school courses—regular, honors, and A.P. classes—as well as a college preparatory program and Judaic studies such as Gemara, which is focused on Chumash, Jewish law, and Hebrew language.

The expansion project involves constructing a gymnasium, dining, and classroom addition to the existing school building along with a dormitory building that will enable the campus to operate as both a day and boarding school. The dormitory is directly connected to the academic building to create a live/learn-style environment. Unique aspects include site improvements to provide separate access points for the middle school, high school, and dormitory entrances along with a new 240-seat Beis Medrash—“House of Learning”—designed to be used by both students and the school community at large.
