Yeshiva of Greater Washington

What Yeshiva of Greater Washington does

Yeshiva of Greater Washington (YGW) is a private, nonprofit Orthodox Jewish day school founded in 1963 in Silver Spring, Maryland, originally as Yeshiva High School by HaRav Gedaliah Anemer zt"l. The institution serves Jewish families in the Greater Washington area through separate Boys and Girls middle and high school divisions (grades 7-12) operating from two campuses — the Girls Division and Business Office at 2010 Linden Lane, and the Boys Division and Yeshiva Gedolah at 1216 Arcola Avenue. The school offers a dual curriculum combining Judaic studies (Talmud, Chumash, Halacha, Nach, Machshava) with a college-preparatory General Studies program that includes Honors, AP, and college-credit-bearing courses, reporting a 6:1 student-teacher ratio and a 100% college matriculation rate.

Beyond K-12, YGW operates the Yeshiva Gedolah post-high school program, its Yeshiva College of the Nation's Capital (YCNC) component, and the Kollel Zichron Amram for married students pursuing advanced Torah learning. The institution extends its reach digitally through Shiurim Online (audio.yeshiva.edu), which distributes free audio lectures from its faculty across categories including Chumash, Nach, Talmud, Halacha, and Machshava. The technology stack is limited to standard educational administration tooling: Blackbaud for school management and donor processing, and Google Maps for campus location display.

The business model is nonprofit and community-funded, with revenue generated from tuition and fees across the multiple divisions, supplemented by donations through a dedicated giving program that includes the SOS-AB2B initiative. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth referrals within the Greater Washington Jewish community rather than paid marketing, with online admissions inquiry forms serving as the primary intake channel. Leadership is anchored by Rosh HaYeshiva HaRav Ahron Lopiansky, supported by a Board of Directors, Maggidei Shiur, Shoel u'Meishiv, and administrative staff. The school holds affiliations with The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and Torah U'Mesorah, embedding it in the broader national Orthodox educational network.
