ACADEMICS
For generations, Ramaz has stood as a beacon of academic excellence. Our challenging curriculum and seminar-style classes do more than just teach; they inspire critical thinking, foster problem-solving, and encourage students to engage in meaningful, thought-provoking conversations. Whether exploring the complexities of STEM or the nuances of the humanities, our diverse programs ensure every student discovers their passion while developing the confidence to voice and defend their ideas. At Ramaz, we're not just shaping students—we're shaping the leaders of tomorrow, through dynamic education and a deep commitment to open, honest dialogue.
NEW YORK CITY IS OUR CAMPUS
Though our students spend much of their time on East 78th Street, New York City itself is truly their campus. From exploring world-class museums that bring their Freshman Art courses to life, to experiencing Broadway readings of English poetry, the city is an extension of their learning. Whether it’s swimming at the Safra Center, playing baseball in Central Park, or jumping on the subway to advocate for Israel at the United Nations, Ramaz students seize every opportunity the city offers. Here, learning goes beyond the classroom—it’s woven into the very fabric of New York, shaping well-rounded individuals who are ready to engage with the world.
CITIZENS OF THE WORLD
Ramaz students understand that they are part of something far greater than just themselves or their school. They carry a deep sense of responsibility to their community—both within the Jewish world and beyond. Chesed is woven into every aspect of life at Ramaz: from daily lunch packing for homeless neighbors, to weekly challah bakes and visits to local hospitals. Whether it’s organizing campaigns down Lexington Avenue to raise awareness for hostages, spearheading initiatives for the victims of October 7th, or hosting annual events like those for Breast Cancer Awareness month, Ramaz students are driven by a desire to make a tangible difference. At Ramaz, service isn't just a value—it’s a way of life.
RELIGIOUS GROWTH
Founded in 1937, Ramaz was built with a clear vision: to help American Jews thrive in both their Judaism and the broader secular world. At Ramaz, students grow in their spirituality, deepen their love for Jewish tradition, and sharpen their understanding of Tanakh. They engage in thoughtful debates over sugyot of Gemara, immerse themselves in Hebrew language and culture, and cultivate a deep respect and passion for mitzvot. By the time they graduate, Ramaz students are not just knowledgeable—they are spiritually strong, with a sense of purpose and commitment that empowers them as they navigate the wider world.
