All In for Our Bochurim!
Living up to the legacy of the great cities of the Wild Wild West, the Jewish community of Houston is booming.
Dozens of families are joining the community every year, and Houston has been on the rise as one of the best places to live as a frum Yid, with one glaring exception. Shuls, mikvahs, kosher food, a large eruv, day schools - but no traditional orthodox options after eighth grade. To fill the obvious need for a mesivta, the Mesivta of Houston sprang to life four years ago and has been growing at a phenomenal rate every year since.
Modeled after the standard yeshivos of the East Coast, this mesivta is every bit as academically challenging as its well-established peers. A rigorous limudei kodesh program is complemented by general studies to prepare students for enrollment in any institution upon graduation. Whether students wish to enroll in universities or continue on in a yeshiva, they have the tools to make the best decision in their paths as educated young men.
A foundational piece of the chinuch here is the emphasis on middos and derech eretz. Rabbeim lead as models, guiding each student in building self-awareness. Developing a habit of reflection and repair bolsters personal growth and builds interpersonal skills to set a course for a lifetime of healthy relationships.
Another scholastic bonus is the fact that Mesivta of Houston is not all academics. Extracurricular excursions are built into the framework of the education offered here because it is well-known that some of the most enduring learning experiences take place outside of the classroom. Students respond very well to the trips, and look forward to them with great enthusiasm. This adds a lighthearted element to the zman, and keeps the kids engaged and buoyant throughout the year.
As it all comes together, the most important indicator of success is
the happiness of the students.
To say the staff will do anything and everything to help each bochur succeed
is an understatement.
Our boys are excited to learn, they are happy to be here, and the parents are thrilled with both the positivity they see in their boys and the quality of the academics. These bochurim know they come to yeshiva to learn from rabbeim who give their all, rabbeim who look forward to seeing each student, every day. This is a school that is totally committed to the success of every talmid.
Every rebbi and faculty member is All In for the Bochurim.
The well-rounded education provided by Mesivta of Houston is a major factor that is enabling the growth of the Houston Jewish community. Am Yisroel prizes education, and many families cannot consider moving to an area that lacks a yeshiva. This mesivta is cementing the permanence of the orthodox community in Houston. Now, anyone can feel comfortable making Houston their new home town.
