General Studies

Yeshivat Kadimah High School seeks to inspire students with the academic excellence, intellectual curiosity and religious depth that only a Modern Orthodox high school can provide.  

 

Our personalized General Studies program challenges each student at the appropriate level, encourages them to explore areas of academic interest, and fosters individual growth and development in a supportive and family-like environment.  

 

Yeshivat Kadimah's academic program prepares students for the rigors of college, and instills a lifelong love of Torah and secular learning.
