Choose Your Spiritual Path

Standards of excellence in Jewish studies

Torah learning and growth is infused into every day at ICJA, with classes, special programming, Shabbatonim and individualized learning with the YU Torah Mitzion Kollel. You’ll have advanced Talmud learning opportunities, including national competitions (girls choose between an Advanced Jewish Studies Program and a Talmud track). Morning prayer groups are divided among student interests, such as meditative, singing, learning and more. Our learning is so strong that every year we hear from yeshivot and seminaries in Israel that Academy graduates are among the most well prepared students there. You’ll gain the necessary tools to learn Chumash, Prophets, Halacha and Gemara on your own in the future. Most importantly, we focus on helping you absorb the lessons and values in our tradition, ensuring you have the strength to continue to grow as bnei and bnot Torah.
