Curriculum

Individualized and Personal Attention

The Yeshiva of Greater Washington–Tiferes Gedaliah prides itself on teaching the “whole child” as a crucial component of its mission to play an integral part in building the future of Klal Yisroel. Rebbeim and teachers build lifetime ties by connecting with students on a personal level, while small classes enable the staff to cater to the individual needs of our students. The result is a well-rounded, well-educated graduate who is equipped and ready to make his contribution to the greater whole in both the religious and secular world.
