Frequently asked questions
How many Orthodox Jewish day schools are there in Los Angeles?
ShulMap lists 24 Orthodox day schools and yeshivas in Los Angeles — 7 for boys, 6 for girls and 9 coed. Pico-Robertson (10), Hancock Park (8) and Valley Village (4) 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 in Los Angeles?
By enrollment reported to the US Department of Education's Private School Survey (2023–24): Emek Hebrew Academy in Encino (949 students), Gindi Maimonides Academy in Beverly Hills (609 students) and Hillel Hebrew Academy in Pico-Robertson (567 students). Size is not a measure of quality or fit — visit, and ask families in the community.
Which Orthodox high schools are in Los Angeles?
For boys: YULA Boys High School, Mesivta Birkas Yitzchok, Yeshiva Gedolah Los Angeles, Yeshiva Ohr Elchonon Chabad - West Coast and Yeshiva Ner Aryeh. For girls: YULA Girls High School, Bais Yaakov Machon, Bnos Esther H.S. and Valley Torah High School Girls' Division. Coed: Shalhevet High School, Gaon Academy, Los Angeles Cheder / Bais Tzivia and Valley Torah High School. Many families also send high-school students to yeshivos and seminaries out of town.
Is this every Orthodox school in Los Angeles?
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.
