Mesivta Birkas Yitzchok, also known as MBY or MBYLA, is an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva high school in Los Angeles, California.

History[]

Mesivta Birkas Yitzchok is a yeshiva high school that was founded in 2006 by Rabbi Shalom Tendler. Located in Los Angeles, the school opened with only ninth grade and added a class each year until it had 9th to 12th grades. Rabbi Tendler originally was the principal of Yeshiva University of Los Angeles before he left to make a new yeshiva high school.^{[citation needed]}

Educational philosophy and curriculum[]

The school teaches a dual curriculum of Judaic studies and secular studies. Religious studies are given primacy relative to the curriculum of secular education taught in the school.^{[citation needed]} One of the school's Rabbis was named a Jewish Educator Award (JEA) recipient in 2012.^[2]

The students and teachers in 2010

The school has a student body of approximately seventy boys from various areas of Los Angeles, the majority of whom live in the Pico-Robertson, Fairfax District and San Fernando Valley areas. The school also has a dorming option in which students from out of the Los Angeles area stay in apartments with a dorm counselor. Students who dormed have hailed from cities such as Palo Alto, San Diego, and Phoenix, Arizona. The school is thus primarily a day school, but also functions as a boarding school.^{[citation needed]}
