Queens Hebrew Academy was founded in 1956 as Solomon Schechter School of Queens, rooted in a deep commitment to Jewish learning and academic excellence.
As Queens itself has evolved, so has our school. Over the years, we have welcomed an increasingly diverse Jewish population, united by a shared desire for a meaningful Jewish education.
Our transition to Queens Hebrew Academy reflects this evolution: a name that honors our legacy while embracing our role today as a joyful, inclusive community institution where every Jewish child belongs.
Queens Hebrew Academy continues to grow! In the past several years, our enrollment has increased by 30%. Our graduates go on to attend top high schools – from prestigious yeshivot and Jewish day schools to highly competitive public schools – and to become leaders in the Jewish world and beyond.
