About the program
Post-high-school students who want "to build a strong foundation in Torah knowledge and observance, starting at the beginning, regardless of their previous Jewish background" (the school's wording). Students come from public schools, Jewish day schools and a mix of both, from the United States, Canada and the UK.
A gap-year seminary with beginner and advanced tracks in Chumash and Halacha, beginner and advanced Hebrew ulpan, one-on-one tutoring and small-group learning. Each student also takes a weekly career-building seminar. There is a weekly chesed afternoon, full-day trips about once a month, and Shabbos on campus or a Shabbaton away about twice a month.
