Associated Beth Rivkah Schools

What Associated Beth Rivkah Schools does

Associated Beth Rivkah Schools is a private, nonprofit Chabad-Lubavitch girls' educational institution headquartered in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY. Founded in 1941 by Rabbi Joseph I. Schneerson as the world's first Chassidic girls' school, it serves over 2,500 students across a complete educational continuum spanning preschool through post-high seminary, operated through five Brooklyn campuses including the modern 125,000 sq ft Campus Chomesh. The institution functions as the flagship Lubavitch girls' school globally, with DHL (Division of Higher Learning) graduates teaching in over 75 cities worldwide.

The school operates a multi-product educational platform structured into core academic departments (Preschool, Primary, Elementary, High School, Seminary/DHL) supported by a layered ecosystem of auxiliary programs including BR Day Camp (1,000+ campers annually), BR Teen Club (DYCD-funded enrichment for 6th-8th graders), BR Aftercare (ACS/HRA voucher-subsidized childcare), Teacher Training, BRanches mother support program, EmBRace alumnae network, and a subscription video platform. The technology stack is conventional SaaS: Graphite Education for student information, DocuSign for document signing, WhatsApp for community communication, and a dedicated camp management portal.

Revenue is generated through tuition (K-12 not publicly disclosed; seminary at $9,700-$11,200/year), philanthropic donations (UJA Federation, CSF, tiered sponsorship programs), Title IV federal financial aid (Pell Grants), NY State TAP grants, government childcare subsidies (DYCD, ACS/HRA), and minor streams from video subscriptions and administrative fees. Critically, 85.8% of K-12 students receive Beth Rivkah Scholarship Fund support, making the institution heavily dependent on charitable giving to sustain operations. AIJS accreditation provides regulatory differentiation enabling federal aid eligibility. Distribution is purely direct-to-consumer via online enrollment portals with no third-party resellers or paid advertising.
