MISSION STATEMENT 

Katz Yeshiva High School of South Florida is a premier, co-educational Orthodox Jewish high school dedicated to fostering academic, spiritual, and personal growth. We inspire young women and men to commit to Torah values and religious Zionism, preparing them for a lifetime of learning, purpose, service, and leadership. KYHS instills confidence, kindness, and respect for others in all its students.

 

 

VISION STATEMENT 

All aspects of KYHS coalesce to inspire, challenge, and empower our students within a dynamic, relationship-driven community. Here, academic excellence, Jewish tradition, support for Israel, and personal growth converge to shape tomorrow’s Jewish leaders. Our students learn to act with respect, kindness, and integrity, fostering a culture of ethical leadership and responsibility.  

 

Employing a dual curriculum that integrates rigorous Judaic and General Studies for all students, enhanced by a robust extracurricular program and a student-centered community, we cultivate intellectual curiosity, spiritual development, emotional well-being, and commitment to making a lasting impact in an ever-evolving world. 

 

KYHS graduates emerge with the knowledge, skills, and character necessary to excel in their next steps - whether in seminaries, yeshivot, universities, service to the State of Israel, or other mission-appropriate environments.  They are prepared to build meaningful careers, strong families, contribute to civic society, and make significant contributions to their communities and to the Jewish people worldwide.
