Yeshiva University’s High School for Boys was officially renamed The Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy – Yeshiva University High School for Boys in 1980 when Stanley E. Stern ’56YUHSB, Vice-Chairman of the Yeshiva University Board of Trustees, gave the school a major gift. In appreciation, Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm, who was president of YU at the time, renamed the school in honor of Mr. Stern’s wife, Marsha an”h, who passed away in March of 1979.
Now in its second century, Yeshiva University is the oldest and most comprehensive educational institution under Jewish auspices in America. It is an independent university that ranks among the nation’s leading academic research institutions and, reflecting the time-honored tradition of Torah Umadda, provides the highest quality Jewish and secular education of any Jewish university in the world. Since its inception, the University has been dedicated to melding the ancient traditions of Jewish law and life with the heritage of Western civilization, and each year we celebrate as future leaders make YU their home.
Athletics play an integral part in the MTA experience. Whether a student plays competitively on one of the myriads of teams, recreationally during intramurals, and/or works out during the daily Physical Education program, students appreciate the program and facilities that we have to offer.
All of our competitive teams have won championships our legendary hockey team still holds the Yeshiva League record for consecutive championships with 6 in a row. Our basketball games – both team and intramural – are played on Yeshiva University’s NCAA court in the Max Stern Athletic Center and LionsLive often stream our games online. Most importantly, our sports teams embody the values of our yeshiva. Many of our coaches are alumni of MTA and current YU students, who serve as role models for our talmidim both on and off the court.
Yeshiva University High School for Boys is accredited by the Board of Regents of the State University of New York and by the Middle States Association of Secondary Schools. As such, its courses and requirements conform to the standards of the Board of Regents, and examinations in Regents subjects are given in June of each year in several required subjects.
