The Beth Jacob Parochial School is a private school on the Lower East Side of Manhattan that serves students in prekindergarten through eighth grade.
Located in a four-story school building at the corner of Broome and Ridge streets, the school has a fenced-in rooftop deck for outdoor activities and is central to several grassy squares and neighborhood parks. A member of the National Society for Hebrew Days Schools, the Beth Jacob Parochial School has been in operation for over 50 years, with a guiding purpose to educate and encourage students “to be pillars of the American Jewish community.”
The curriculum mixes traditional teachings around the Jewish faith with the core subjects of math, science and history. An on-site library provides a focal point for reading and learning, and the school’s extracurricular activities include music, art, science and history fairs, plus an annual musical production.
