ShulMap lists 3 Orthodox day schools and yeshivas in Virginia — 1 for boys and 2 coed. Richmond (2) and Norfolk (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 Virginia?

By enrollment reported to the US Department of Education's Private School Survey (2023–24): Rudlin Torah Academy in Richmond (100 students), Benjamin & Lillian Rochkind Yeshiva of Virginia in Richmond (39 students) and Yeshiva Aish Kodesh Talmudical Academy in Norfolk (14 students). Size is not a measure of quality or fit — visit, and ask families in the community.

Which Orthodox high schools are in Virginia?

For boys: Yeshiva Aish Kodesh Talmudical Academy. Coed: Benjamin & Lillian Rochkind Yeshiva of Virginia. Many families also send high-school students to yeshivos and seminaries out of town.

Is this every Orthodox school in Virginia?

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.
