Yeshiva High School of Cleveland was built on the premise of excellence and stands firmly on excellence – excellence in Torah, character refinement, and secular studies.
We aim to develop our students into bnai Torah who will be contributing members of the Jewish Community, and active participants of the am hamivchar, willing to do everything possible to glorify Hashem’s name at every juncture in life.
YHSC’s approach to chinuch takes age-old primers of education and adds love, care, and empathy to the mix; love for the Torah, care for our talmidim, and empathy for our fellow Jews. Our exceptional learning environment fosters independence, strength of character, and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.
We believe in promoting the positive in every student and helping each one recognize the qualities in which he excels. Just like Klal Yisroel had different banners, and each banner manifested that shevet’s individual qualities, at YHSC our goal is to ensure that each talmid finds and takes pride in his own banner.
YHSC is dedicated to the success of our talmidim in all aspects of academic life. The Yeshiva provides a solid foundation for our students, preparing them to move on to institutions of higher learning and to excel in the wider professional world.
