Yavneh Academy of Dallas

Yavneh Academy of Dallas offers an outstanding dual curriculum that combines the highest level of college preparatory courses with an unparalleled Judaic studies program. A community based school in a Modern Orthodox setting, the school’s unique mission goes beyond preparing students to excel in college and career – it prepares them to lead a life of integrity and honor.

Yavneh’s exceptionally low student-teacher ratio allows each student’s curriculum to be tailored to maximize their individual strengths, and grants teachers unparalleled levels of interaction with each student. This individualized approach to education has been key in the success of its students. And with composite SAT and ACT scores that are markedly higher than the national norm, it is no surprise that Yavneh graduates have gone on to attend many of the premier universities in the nation. Moreover, they have been offered over $8.3 million in merit scholarships to date.

However, academic success is only half of the story. Yavneh students are distinguished by their leadership, civic responsibility and commitment to Israel. With more than $100,000 raised annually for causes like Students Against Terrorism and each student typically accumulating over 250 hours of community service, Yavneh graduates go on to lead at their chosen universities and beyond.

Yavneh's boys and girls work side-by-side in a nurturing environment with the goal of developing future community leaders in college and beyond. From classes to activities, Yavneh students learn the skills they need to build a bright future.

Established in 1993, Yavneh has been instrumental in keeping the Dallas Jewish community vibrant. Its commitment to serve the entire community, regardless of affiliation, has helped bring synagogue congregations together. Also, the school makes every possible effort to afford its superior education to all, so no Jewish student is denied a Yavneh experience for financial reasons.

Our greatest strength at Yavneh is our outstanding faculty, whose subject matter expertise and excellent teacher-student relationships nurture and bring out the best in every Yavneh student. Yavneh students are encouraged to explore their strengths and talents and to develop skills for a productive and fulfilling adult life. Acceptance by the leading colleges and universities is just the start of what Yavneh students achieve. After college and graduation, they move on to become some of the most successful and influential men and women in the Jewish community.

Yavneh’s mission is to prepare Jewish students for college and university distinction with a lifelong commitment to Torah study and Jewish traditions, the Jewish people, and the State of Israel. Yavneh Academy is well-known among leading Dallas independent private schools for our rigorous academic dual curriculum, warm and nurturing environment, exceptional and personalized college preparation, and award-winning extracurricular programs.

Yavneh Academy’s dual curriculum is unrivaled among Dallas high schools. It combines the highest level of college preparatory courses with an unparalleled Judaic Studies program, and is carefully crafted to help maximize each student’s potential. Yavneh students are not only given the tools to help succeed in college life, but also to become leaders in their chosen professions and communities.

The school’s best-in-class faculty, when coupled with a remarkably low teacher-to-student ratio, allows the customization of each student’s curriculum. This individualized approach to education enables teachers to work closely with students to maximize his/her unique strengths and talents, ensuring each student is both nurtured and challenged with an ambitious curriculum.

At Yavneh, the school day is carefully crafted to promote a productive, college-like atmosphere, where students learn to balance their required courses with a wide array of extracurricular activities. This collegiate structure helps them master the art of time and life management, while also helping them define themselves through the critical high school years.
