Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls

What Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls does

Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls (SKA) is a private, nonprofit Orthodox Jewish high school for girls located in Hewlett Bay Park, New York, operating as a division of the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach (HALB). Founded in 1994 (on a campus HALB acquired in 1992 from the former Lawrence Country Day School), SKA delivers a dual curriculum combining Judaic Studies (Limudei Kodesh — Talmud, Torah, Halacha, Hebrew) with a college-preparatory General Studies program that includes AP coursework in subjects such as Chemistry, US History, Physics, Calculus, and English. The school is accredited by the N.Y. State Board of Regents and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and requires applicants to complete the Consortium of Jewish Day Schools' JSAT Level 8 exam and a $100 application fee. SKA serves approximately 65+ faculty and staff, drawing students from Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, and Brooklyn, with private bus transportation arrangements covering multiple districts.

The school's core offerings extend beyond academics to include college guidance, a dedicated learning support team (social workers, school psychologists, learning specialists), an Israel Guidance program, a Beit Midrash advanced Torah study program, athletic and student publication extracurriculars, and an alumnae madrichot mentorship system. SKA does not develop proprietary technology; instead it integrates third-party educational platforms — Schoology for learning management, Veracross for admissions and the parent portal, ParentLocker for tuition management, and Edlio for the public-facing website — with Cloudflare providing security. A Director of Educational Technology oversees digital integration across the curriculum.

SKA's revenue model is tuition-driven, supplemented by a one-time $100 application fee per applicant and recurring donations solicited through the school's public donation portal. Financial aid and tuition assistance are available to eligible families through a confidential process. The school markets primarily through its website, organic social media under the #WEAREHALB umbrella brand, and internal referrals from the HALB family of schools (Lev Chana, HALB elementary, DRS boys' high school). Strategic positioning emphasizes small class sizes, personal attention, whole-person development, and a continuous Orthodox educational pathway from early childhood through high school.
