The Margolin Hebrew Academy/Feinstone Yeshiva of the South is a warm, community-focused, values-driven Orthodox Jewish day school that empowers and inspires its students with the knowledge and skills they will need to meaningfully contribute to all aspects of society.
Accredited by two highly recognized national networks, the National Association for the Education of Young Children and Southern Association of Independent Schools, MHA-FYOS is also affiliated with several highly regarded national Jewish organizations dedicated to high-quality education, including the Consortium of Jewish Day Schools and Yeshiva University.
“Being a partner school of the M.O.S.T. Scholarship Program helps us ensure that more families wanting a high-quality Orthodox Jewish education for their children are able to do so,” says Jessica Baum Sukhodolsky, MHA-FYOS Director of Recruitment and Marketing. “The Memphis Jewish community is known across the county as uniquely inter-connected and engaged, and our school is one of the reasons why. Because of M.O.S.T., we are able to welcome more families into the warmth of our dynamic Jewish community.”
The school serves boys and girls from pre-K3 through high school, with Judaic and General Studies working in tandem to develop intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. The values of integrity, kindness, respect, and responsibility- all central to Judaism, religiously and culturally- are the bedrock of MHA-FYOS’s approach to education.
