North Shore Hebrew Academy (NSHA or NSHAHS) is a modern orthodox yeshiva located in Great Neck, New York.[2][3] The Academy has four divisions: Pre-K, Elementary (Grades K-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8) and High School (Grades 9-12).

North Shore Hebrew Academy grades Pre-K through 5th grade is located at 16 Cherry Lane in Great Neck, NY. It has a total student population of about 400 students.

North Shore Hebrew Academy Middle School (Grades 6-8) is located at 26 Old Mill Road in Great Neck, NY 11024, sharing a campus with the Great Neck Synagogue. It has a total student population of approximately 170 students.[4]

North Shore Hebrew Academy High School (Grades 9-12) is located at 400 North Service Road, Great Neck, NY 11020. The total student population is approximately 400 students. The high school was founded in 2001;[5] a new 187,000 sq ft (17,400 m2) facility was opened in 2006. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association. The school was rocked by a cheating scandal in 2011, as were some other schools on Long Island; local youth were paid to take SAT and ACT tests for students.[6] In 2016, Niche.com listed it as one of the 100 best private schools in New York.[7]

The high school athletic teams are called the Stars; the middle school athletic teams are the Lions.

Ivan Kaufman is the Chairman of the Board and Maurice Setton is the President.[8] Kaufman was the primary initiator of the effort to add a high school, which opened in September 2000.[9]
