What is Naaleh?

At Naaleh High School for Girls, we are committed to excellence in both Torah and General Studies, character development, and religious growth.

Employing innovative strategies and extra-curricular opportunities to challenge students academically and inspire personal growth, we are dedicated to providing our students with the foundation and tools to succeed as proud Jewish women wherever their paths take them.

School Philosophy

Naaleh High School for Girls strives to nurture every student. Naaleh girls take pride in their dedication to Torah, and are energized by a lifelong quest for academic, personal, and spiritual growth. To this end, we seek to provide an education which is anchored in the classroom yet reaches well beyond it. To create that atmosphere-
  • We emphasize character, integrity, modesty, and a sincere personal connection to Hashem. We equip each student with both the knowledge of Torah and appreciation of Tefilah.
  • We offer a stimulating curriculum in Limudei Kodesh and General Studies that is designed to provide students with a robust academic foundation. We strive to create a student-centered environment which nurtures active learners and analytical thinkers. Our innovative and multifaceted extra-curricular programs complement the warm classroom experience and aim to spark further intellectual curiosity.
  • We assist our students in navigating the complexities of adolescence and in becoming adults who are mature, confident, resilient, personable, self-aware, courteous, motivated, optimistic, thoughtful, diligent, and earnest.
  • We surround ourselves with exemplary faculty who not only instruct but embody commitment to Torah, halacha, middos, and the highest ethical standards. We recognize that it is our duty to transmit our rich and timeless heritage, and we assist our students in discovering their unique place in the chain of that tradition.
  • We affirm the centrality of Eretz Yisrael in our lives and cultivate within our students a profound connection to Israel. At the same time, we cherish the unprecedented opportunities afforded by the United States of America and feel privileged to be active citizens and contribute meaningfully to our broader community.
Our mission is as simple as it is challenging: to empower and inspire our young women to forge their own paths in life—steered by Torah values, equipped with meaningful knowledge, guided by devoted faculty, surrounded by supportive peers, and ready to carry Naaleh’s education with them throughout the journey.
