About

An education that's his passport to the future. One of the longest established local Orthodox Jewish High Schools, Manchester Mesivta provides a balanced Torah and secular education that prepares students ages 11 17 for all future opportunities. You value Torah study. You value higher education. However, you don't know which path your son will choose.

You want him to be equipped for both. Give your son a broad and balanced education, one rooted in the principle of Torah Im Derech Eretz, leaving all doors to his future, open and accessible. A Manchester Mesivta education will set him up for success on any journey he takes.

Whether he wants to stay in kollel, continue to higher education or enter the business world, our robust kodesh and chol curriculum will cater to the future of his dreams. The Values that Drive us 75 years on We teach our students to be lifelong learners, to value questions as much as answers.

With our on-site Kollel, maths clinic, science club, chess competition, father-and-son Sunday breakfast and Nissan alumni learning programmes, the passion for growth is immense.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
