As parents, we have a path we envision for our children.

We want our kids to have strong yiras shamayim and love for torah learning. We look for a high quality, caring yeshiva, where they can achieve excellence in their studies, in bein adam lemakom, and bein adam lechaveiro.

Yeshiva Derech Hatorah of Monsey was established to provide just such an environment. Children will Iy”H grow to love learning, Torah, & yiddishkeit. Parents will become proud partners in planting the seeds and building the foundation for their children’s future.

Yeshiva Derech Hatorah of Monsey will offer a balanced curriculum that will help your child succeed! We will ensure our talmidim reach the highest possible standards in limudei kodesh, as well as offering a stellar limudei chol program.

YDHM aims to imbue in students yiras shamayim, a love of Torah learning and practice, to develop self-esteem, resilience, confidence and good middos. We look forward to building strong partnerships with parents, working together toward our students’ success and happiness, in school and beyond.
