Katz Yeshiva High School of South Florida

[EduCativ]

"Taste and see that God is good." King David's words in the 34th chapter of Tehillim are referenced on our school's logo and with good reason. Taste and sight are very active senses. One does not passively taste fine cuisine, and one does not casually look at a magnificent piece of art. King David challenges us to fully experience Hashem by immersing ourselves actively in pursuit of the knowledge of God. So too, the experience of learning at KYHS is active. Our students and our teachers are actively engaged, learning together, and striving toward achieving the most and greatest that each of us is capable of.

Our students excel in Judaic Studies and General Studies. Upon graduation, they continue their education at the finest yeshivot, seminaries, and universities at which they continue to be engaged, challenged, and inspired. We are proud that over 90% of our graduates spend at least one year of study in Israel before continuing their studies in college.

Katz Yeshiva High School of South Florida serves the local Jewish communities. All members of our school community are actively engaged in the lifelong process of learning and character development. Toward that end, we strive to:

• INSPIRE our students to make a lifelong commitment to Jewish values, learning, and observance, and view all disciplines and pursuits through the prism of Torah.
• INSPIRE our students to make a lifelong commitment to Jewish values, learning, and observance, and view all disciplines and pursuits through the prism of Torah.

Katz Yeshiva High School of South Florida welcomes families of all backgrounds who share our academic and spiritual growth goals for their children. Our annual Open House in November showcases the Judaic and General Studies learning and our array of Co-Curricular. Interested students begin the application process by submitting an online application, taking an entrance exam, and interviewing with the Admissions Committee members. Our Director of Admissions, Melissa Pereira, meets with prospective families upon request and is available for the facility's tours.

General Studies at KYHS aims to broaden and deepen their understanding of the best that the world of knowledge has to offer while developing the skills and passion for lifelong learning. KYHS offers courses that aim to challenge each student at the most appropriate level for him or her. We offer Advanced Placement (A.P.), honors, accelerated, grade level, and principle courses. The staff members in each department coordinate their teaching so that themes are reinforced in each class. Each student takes a core course in English, History, Math, and Science each year and an Elective course. Our challenging and extensive General Studies program provides a solid foundation for understanding our world and prepares our students for the various post-high school academic institutions they attend.
