Frequently asked questions
How many Orthodox Jewish day schools are there in New Jersey?
ShulMap lists 106 Orthodox day schools and yeshivas in New Jersey — 55 for boys, 32 for girls and 12 coed. Lakewood (67), Passaic (8) and Teaneck (7) 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 New Jersey?
By enrollment reported to the US Department of Education's Private School Survey (2023–24): The Frisch School in Fair Lawn (998 students), Yeshiva Toras Aron in Lakewood (976 students) and Yeshiva of North Jersey in Teaneck (902 students). Size is not a measure of quality or fit — visit, and ask families in the community.
Which Orthodox high schools are in New Jersey?
For boys: Talmud Torah Toldos Yakov Yosef, Yeshiva Shaar Hatalmud, Yeshiva Birchas Chaim, Mesivata Nezer Hatorah, Mesivta Torah Temimah of Lakewood and Mesivta Keren Orah, and 31 more. For girls: Toras Imecha/bnos Bina-ateres Nechama, Bais Yaakov High School of Lakewood, Aderes Bais Yaakov, UTA of Lakewood, Bais Leah High School and Toras Imeche, and 8 more. Coed: S.C.S.C/MEKAR Hachinuch and The Frisch School. Many families also send high-school students to yeshivos and seminaries out of town.
Is this every Orthodox school in New Jersey?
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.
