Overview
Mission
Yeshiva Schools recognizes that all children are entrusted to us by Hashem. Rooted in Chabad philosophy, our mission is for each child to develop a love of Torah, awe of Hashem, refined character traits, and life and academic skills. Our children will actualize their potential, establish and sustain Torah-observant families, and contribute to their community and the world at large. Yeshiva Schools will accomplish this by cultivating a trusting partnership with parents, delivering an excellent academic experience in every classroom, fostering continuous skill development in both Judaic and general studies, employing positive role models, and creating an environment that nurtures creativity, self-esteem, respect for others, and a sense of mission.
What it reported doing in 2024
Operation of private schools (nursery through high school) for boys and girls providing religious and secular instructions.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
