The Beatrice J. Stone Yavne High School is a Jewish community school for girls, grades seven through twelve, that provides a challenging and excellent education in a warm and caring environment.

The secular curriculum includes English, American and World History, Math (Pre-Algebra through Calculus) and the Sciences including Biology, Chemistry and Physics, Art, Music and Physical Education including swimming.

Both the school mechaneches and the social worker meet regularly with students to help them succeed and reach their full potential.

Yavne High School is a State Chartered, non-public school, fully accredited by the Ohio State Board of Education.

Since its inception in 1953, Yavne High School has educated over 1600 students. Over 90% of our graduates attend leading seminaries in Israel, after which many go on to prestigious colleges and universities. Many of our graduates pursue careers in Jewish education as well as in medicine, law, engineering, business and computers. Yavne seniors score well on national tests and receive Presidential Scholarship awards and National Merit Finalist Grants. Many Yavne students in grades 9 – 12 are recognized, as well, for high achievements in statewide competitions in Math and English.

Special activities include Rosh Chodesh assemblies and outings, an annual Shabbaton and an annual theatrical production, which features drama, dance and choir. Yavne participates in, and hosts the International Bais Yaakov Convention.

Yavne students participate in their special chesed program, which is Cleveland renowned. This is a multi-service volunteer project in which students assist the elderly, the shut-ins, the sick and others in need. Regular visits are made to local nursing homes where special bonds are formed between the Yavne girls and the residents.

Further implementing the lessons taught in the classroom, students sponsor various fund raising events, the proceeds of which go to tzedakah programs here and in Israel.

A “Big Sister, Little Sister” program is an in-school extension of chesed as an older student is assigned to an incoming seventh grader for support and guidance during her years at Yavne. These valued relationships often continue into adulthood.
