Kohelet Yeshiva High School


Kohelet Yeshiva High School is a Modern Orthodox college preparatory Jewish high school that offers an equal dual curriculum program of Judaic and General Studies for both boys and girls. Originally called Stern Hebrew High School and located in Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the school moved to its current site in Merion Station in 2010. The new site is the former home of Akiba Hebrew Academy. The move was made possible by support from the Kohelet Foundation, and the school was renamed "Kohelet Yeshiva High School" in recognition of that gift. As of the 2013-2014 school year, 166 were enrolled at the school.

About

Kohelet was previously located in Northeast Philadelphia at JCC Klein, and until 2010, on Hoffnagle Street under the name Stern Hebrew High School, named after founder Harry Stern. The name and site were changed after philanthropist David Magerman's foundation, the Kohelet Foundation, purchased the formerly owned Barrack Hebrew Academy's site in Merion Station, and added a Beit Midrash to the property.

Academics

In addition to regular college preparatory classes, Kohelet offers the following Advance Placement courses: English, United States History, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Studio Art.
