North Shore Hebrew Academy (NSHA or NSHAHS) is a Modern Orthodox yeshiva located in Great Neck, New York. [2] [3] The academy has four divisions: Pre-K, Elementary (Grades K-5), Middle School (Grades 6–8) and High School (Grades 9–12).

The founding principal of North Shore Hebrew Academy was Rabbi Dr. Ephraim Wolf. [4]

North Shore Hebrew Academy grades Pre-K through 5th grade is located at 16 Cherry Lane in Great Neck, NY. It has a total student population of about 400 students.

North Shore Hebrew Academy Middle School (Grades 6–8) is located at 26 Old Mill Road in Great Neck, NY 11024, sharing a campus with the Great Neck Synagogue. It has a total student population of approximately 170 students. [5]

North Shore Hebrew Academy High School (Grades 9–12) is located at 400 North Service Road, Great Neck, NY 11020. The total student population is approximately 400 students. The high school was founded in 2001; [6] a new 187,000 sq ft (17,400 m2) facility was opened in 2006. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association. The school was rocked by a cheating scandal in 2011, as were some other schools on Long Island; local youth were paid to take SAT and ACT tests for students. [7] In 2016, Niche.com listed it as one of the 100 best private schools in New York. [8]

The high school and middle school athletic teams are called the Lions.

Ivan Kaufman is the chairman of the board and Daniella Muller is the President. [9] Kaufman was the primary initiator of the effort to add a high school, which opened in September 2000. [10] From 2001 through 2022 Dr. Daniel J. Vitow was the Headmaster of the high school. This position was given to Rabbi Dr. Jeffrey Kobrin, who had previously been the Rosh Yeshiva and head of the elementary and middle school divisions.

On December 15, 2020, North Shores website and email system was hacked and was bombarded with antisemitic content including but not limited to Hitlers speeches, hate speech about a school trip to the “ovens” and messaging to the students and teachers.
