Yeshiva Aharon Yaakov-Ohr Eliyahu (YAYOE) is a private Orthodox Jewish day school located in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles, California.

History

Ohr Eliyahu Academy (OEA), as it was previously called, was founded in the mid-1980s in Venice, California. As the school grew, Ohr Eliyahu relocated to a former Culver City public school near Kenneth Hahn State Park. After leasing the site for four years the school purchased the campus for $1.4 million in 1999.[1]

New Campus

In April 2009, Yeshivah Aharon Yaakov-Ohr Eliyahu bought the former Daniel Murphy High School campus, located in the heavily Orthodox Jewish populated Fairfax District.[1]

The 2010-2011 school year marked the beginning of YAYOE's use of its newly remodeled 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) campus.

Curriculum

YAYOE offers a dual curriculum with both secular and Judaic studies for students from kindergarten through eighth grade with separate boys and girls divisions. A majority of the Judaic studies program is taught in Hebrew.

The school has music and art programs and various after-school enrichment electives.

YAYOE is accredited by the Bureau of Jewish Education and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.[2][3]

Administration

Headmaster: Rabbi Shlomo Goldberg[4]

Torah Studies Principal: Mrs. Malca Schwarzmer[4]

General Studies Principal: Mrs. Lynn Karz[4]

Awards

Torah Umesorah awarded the school and Rabbi Shlomo Goldberg the Hersh Potok Memorial School of the Year Award and the Maurice and Goldie Rothman Award for Outstanding Educator respectively.[5][6]
