Beyond Mesivta

Post High-School Learning

Ateres Yaakov is justifiably proud of its outstanding post-high school Israel program. Our Rabbeim advisors are highly regarded by the numerous Israeli yeshivos that seek out our talmidim.

Therefore, it is no surprise that our graduates attend a wide variety of yeshivos, including:

A growing number of those "Israel alumni" want to continue to solidify their learning at the highest levels, while also pursuing college education to prepare for future careers. Our Yeshiva Gedolah is designed to fill this niche.

Geared for bachurim who have had at least two years of post high school learning, the program has a three seder a day schedule while simultaneously facilitating talmidim attending a variety of college programs.

In our Yeshiva, it has always been our aim to inculcate in our talmidim the concept of integrating the various aspects of their lives, while retaining the self-concepts of true Bnai Torah, even when they are no longer solely in the Bais Medrash all the time.

College and Career

Ateres Yaakov is a college preparatory yeshiva, with a curriculum and advisement geared to student success in higher education and careers.
