Student demographics

Shaare Torah primarily caters to the Sephardic Jewish community of Brooklyn, but also has students from around the Tri-State area.

After high school graduation

Graduates are encouraged to participate in year-long programs at yeshivot and seminaries in Israel.^[1] Afterwards, some continue their studies in similar institutions, while others enroll in university, or go straight into the workforce. Some of the most popular universities among Shaare alumni, such as Brooklyn College and Baruch College, grant up to one year's worth of credit to students who study in Israel, allowing them to apply these credits to their undergraduate degree. It is also increasingly common for graduates to join a Kollel, following Yeshiva education.

History

In 2009, 34 students at the girl's elementary school were injured when a sidewalk grate collapsed during a graduation ceremony.^[9] The girl's elementary school has about 300 students.^[10] That same year, the school closed due to the swine flu epidemic.^[11]

In 2015, the school hosted a political rally promoting tax credits for parents of children in private schools.^[12] New York Governor Andrew Cuomo spoke at the event, as did City Council Member David G. Greenfield.^[13]

On June 4, 2024 the girls high school went on a trip in Hewitt, NJ. On the way a tree branch fell down, smashing the windows of a monsey tours coach bus carrying around 60 passengers, critically injuring 2. leaving many girls with minor injuries.^[14]^[15]

Athletics

The boys' high school has athletic teams competing in softball, basketball, and flag football.^[1] The school is a member of the Metropolitan Yeshiva High School Athletic League.^[16]

Leadership
