WHY MHA-CYOS

A SCHOOL UNLIKE ANY OTHER

At Margolin Hebrew Academy–Cooper Yeshiva of the South, we believe a great education combines mind and heart. Our students benefit from a dual educational model that combines rigorous Torah and general studies, all within a warm, tight-knit community.

Given our small student-teacher ratio, each child is given the individual care to reach their full potential academically, spiritually, and personally. We welcome families from all Jewish backgrounds who share our commitment to Torah values and academic excellence.

From Pre-K through Grade 12, MHA-CYOS offers an exceptional journey, one campus, three divisions, one community.

We build character alongside knowledge. Students graduate with wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility to their community and the Jewish people.
