Manhattan Day School/Yeshiva Ohr Torah, founded in 1943, is a Modern Orthodox day school located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan serving Toddlers through Eighth Grade. Our warm and welcoming school community embraces students and families from around the city and around the world, and celebrates the diversity of customs and backgrounds represented. Our core goals are to inspire our children to:
-Develop a love of Hashem, the Jewish people, Torah and Israel -- through learning and living the texts and traditions of Am Yisrael with joy
-Cultivate a lifelong foundation of middot and ethics -- through the fostering of a school culture of respect, safety, and kindness
-Engage in a dynamic exploration of the world around them -- through immersion in the humanities; math, science and emerging technologies; art and music; and the history and culture of our vibrant democracy and global community

On Friday morning, MDS Administration and Parents Council welcomed 80 families, including many new parents, to a Welcome Breakfast in our new lobby! ☕️

The morning gave parents an opportunity to meet members of the MDS team, connect with fellow families, and learn about the many ways to get involved in our school community.

Dr. Kletenik opened the program with remarks, followed by Parents Council sharing more about parent involvement and the important role volunteers play at MDS.

School may be out, but MDS spirit doesn’t take a summer break! ☀️💙

Our teachers hit the road, visiting camps to reconnect with our incredible students. As a special surprise, every camper received a fan that said “We Are Your Biggest Fans!” Because whether it’s September or July, we’ll always be cheering them on.

Have an amazing rest of the summer! Can’t wait to see everyone back at MDS soon! 📚
