What Margolin Hebrew Academy does

Margolin Hebrew Academy-Cooper Yeshiva of the South (MHA-CYOS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Orthodox Jewish day school founded in 1949 in Memphis, Tennessee, operating across a single 7-acre campus at 390 S White Station Road with 57 employees. The institution delivers a dual-curricular education combining half-day Hebrew language, Judaics, and Torah studies with half-day secular academics (Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies) from preschool through 12th grade, organized into four divisions: the Leach Early Childhood Center (Pre-K3 through Kindergarten), Margolin Hebrew Academy (grades 1-8), Cooper Yeshiva of the South (boys' high school, grades 9-12), and the Goldie Margolin School (girls' high school, grades 9-12). The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), supported by three local Orthodox congregations and the Vaad Harabonim rabbinical council, and partners with FACTS for financial aid processing and RenWeb for school management. Technology integration is modest, utilizing iPads and Chromebooks for upper elementary individualized learning, with additional programs including on-campus dormitory housing, athletics, Chesed community service, and Israel-focused advocacy programming. Revenue is generated through tuition (not publicly disclosed), donations via PayPal, dedication programs (memorial cards, alumni wall, Day of Learning sponsorships), and corporate program sponsorships, with 100% of graduates reported to attend college or post-graduate yeshiva/seminary programs in Israel.
