Frequently asked questions
How many Orthodox Jewish day schools are there in Queens?
ShulMap lists 22 Orthodox day schools and yeshivas in Queens — 11 for boys, 8 for girls and 2 coed. Kew Gardens Hills (12), Far Rockaway (9) and Forest Hills (1) 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 Queens?
By enrollment reported to the US Department of Education's Private School Survey (2023–24): TAG High School in Far Rockaway (448 students), Yeshiva Tifereth Moshe in Kew Gardens Hills (442 students) and Bnos Malka Academy in Forest Hills (426 students). Size is not a measure of quality or fit — visit, and ask families in the community.
Which Orthodox high schools are in Queens?
For boys: Shaar Hatorah High School, Mesivta Chofetz Chaim, Jewish Institute of Queens-boys High School, Midrash L'man Achai, Yeshiva of Far Rockaway and Congregation YMH, and 3 more. For girls: Shaarei Zion Ohel Bracha Institution-girlsdivision, Shevach High School, TAG High School, Bnos Bais Yaakov / Tichon Meir Moshe, Bais Yaakov Ateres Miriam and Torah Academy for Girls. Coed: Mesivta Yesodei Yeshurun and Ezra Academy. Many families also send high-school students to yeshivos and seminaries out of town.
Is this every Orthodox school in Queens?
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.
