Frequently asked questions
How many Orthodox Jewish day schools are there on Long Island?
ShulMap lists 29 Orthodox day schools and yeshivas on Long Island — 14 for boys, 6 for girls and 7 coed. Five Towns (12), Far Rockaway (9) and Great Neck (6) have the most. Counts are what we have mapped, not a census: not every school reports to the federal survey we draw on.
Which are the largest Orthodox day schools on Long Island?
By enrollment reported to the US Department of Education's Private School Survey (2023–24): Yeshiva Ketana of Long Island in Five Towns (562 students), TAG High School in Far Rockaway (448 students) and Bnos Bais Yaakov / Tichon Meir Moshe in Far Rockaway (393 students). Size is not a measure of quality or fit — visit, and ask families in the community.
Which Orthodox high schools are on Long Island?
For boys: DRS Yeshiva High School for Boys, Mesivta Ateres Yaakov, Rambam Mesivta Maimonides HS, Mesivta Netzach Hatorah, Yeshiva Kol Torah-five Towns-far Roc and Yeshiva of Far Rockaway, and 5 more. For girls: Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls (SKA), TAG High School, Bnos Bais Yaakov / Tichon Meir Moshe, Bais Yaakov Ateres Miriam and Torah Academy for Girls. Coed: HAFTR (Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns & Rockaway) and North Shore Hebrew Academy. Many families also send high-school students to yeshivos and seminaries out of town.
Is this every Orthodox school on Long Island?
No. Most schools here come from the US Department of Education's Private School Universe Survey (2023–24 school year), which lists the schools that respond to it; others were added from the schools' own sites. Some well-known schools do not appear in the survey, and new ones open every year. Ask the shuls and families in the community, and confirm grades, admissions and tuition directly with each school.
