Yeshiva Boys High School

We empower our students to be critical thinkers while equipping them with the necessary skills to study independently, to be analytical and to harness their creativity. We see the success of our model in our high rate of midrasha attendance, communal contribution as well as in our excellent matric results and through our graduates who go on to achieve success in the greater world. We are proud of our consistent 100% university pass rate.

We place a great deal of emphasis on academic excellence both in kodesh and general studies, while developing the student as a whole person. We offer a variety of sports to our learners, allowing them to develop passions and to promote a healthy lifestyle. Our learners are equipped with all the necessary tools and guidance to achieve academic excellence.

Kodesh Studies

Chumash

Navi

Halacha

Gemara

Parsha

Torah for Life

These lessons afford students the opportunities to stretch their understanding of Judaism and provide a platform for these young men to explore Jewish thought, ideas and philosophy while developing their Jewish identities. 

 

Mesivta Extension Programme

Most of our learners choose to be part of the Mesivta Extension Programme, where students begin school earlier with their own minyan, study an extra portion of a mishna and enjoy a breakfast each morning. This continues with tailor-made chavrutot (learning partnerships) for our students to engage in in the evenings after school hours. This affords our students the opportunity to develop socially and push their understanding and learning beyond the confines of the school day.

We equip our learners with skills to thrive in the Torah, professional and academic worlds.

Rabbi Zaiden

Rabbi Zaiden has been involved in Youth Leadership and teaching since he was a teenager. He has worked with teenagers of all stripes in South Africa, Israel and London – both in formal and informal education.

Rabbi Zaiden received his Semicha and Bachelor of Jewish Studies while studying in Israel. For the past four years, Rabbi Zaiden has been the principal at Hirsch Lyons Boys High with a special focus on creating an atmosphere of positivity, growth and excellence within the school. During this time, he has had a powerful impact on the lives of his students, giving personal care and attention to each child, tailoring an environment where distinction was achieved in Limudei Kodesh and General Studies while having strong relationships with their peers and role models.
