History

Mesivta Birkas Yitzchok is a yeshiva high school that was founded in 2006 by Rabbi Shalom Tendler. Located in Los Angeles, the school opened with only ninth grade and added a class each year until it had 9th to 12th grades. Rabbi Tendler originally was the principal of Yeshiva University of Los Angeles before he left to make a new yeshiva high school.

Educational philosophy and curriculum

The school teaches a dual curriculum of Judaic studies and secular studies. Religious studies are given primacy relative to the curriculum of secular education taught in the school. One of the school's Rabbis was named a Jewish Educator Award (JEA) recipient in 2012.[2]

Student body
The students and teachers in 2010

The school has a student body of approximately seventy boys from various areas of Los Angeles, the majority of whom live in the Pico-Robertson, Fairfax District and San Fernando Valley areas. The school also has a dorming option in which students from out of the Los Angeles area stay in apartments with a dorm counselor. Students who dormed have hailed from cities such as Palo Alto, San Diego, and Phoenix, Arizona. The school is thus primarily a day school, but also functions as a boarding school.
