The Cooper Yeshiva of the South is made up of two divisions: Cooper Yeshiva High School for Boys and the Goldie Margolin School for Girls. Together, they provide a unique educational atmosphere where the warmth of a small school meets the inspiration of religious growth and academic excellence.

We strive to develop and cultivate the talents of each student while igniting their natural enthusiasm to learn. Analytical skills are taught side by side with skills for life. Using contemporary methodology, we provide our students with a rigorous secular education combined with an authentic, uplifting immersion in the world of Torah study. High school students have access to AP courses, honors tracks, and dual-enrollment options through Touro College and YU Global.

Located at the center of Memphis's vibrant Jewish community, the Cooper Yeshiva of the South instills in its students a value of communal responsibility and a love for Israel. Between 10 and 25 percent of our high school students are boarding students, drawn from across the United States, Europe, and Canada. Our graduates go on to top universities, yeshivot, and seminaries across the country and in Israel.

For Shabbat and Yom Tov, Memphis host families open their homes to boarding students, ensuring that every student feels the warmth of community. For many graduates, their dorm years rank among the most formative of their lives.
