It's one of the most difficult decisions that a Jewish family must make.
How should religious and secular studies be balanced?
How rigorous are the school's academic standards?
What about school spirit?
How significant is its commitment to Israel and to the Jewish people?

Our Philosophy

The philosophy of Yeshivat Or Chaim & Ulpanat Orot is rooted in the traditions of authentic religious Zionism.
The schools seek to instill in its students a deep and abiding love for Medinat Yisrael. Whether planning aliyah or making their lives in North America, students regard Medinat Yisrael as the centre of their spiritual life.
Students are encouraged to spend the year after graduation in Israel at an approved yeshiva or michlalot.
Yeshivat Or Chaim & Ulpanat Orot capture the totality of the Jewish experience, reflecting the three dimensions of between man and G-d, between man and man, and between man and his people.
Yeshivat Or Chaim & Ulpanat Orot are committed to the personal education of every student and is proud that our student body includes graduates of many local elementary schools.
Personal contact with students is maintained through the use of small classes.
