According to a report from Prizmah: Center for Jewish Day Schools, there is a national trend of growing enrollment in Jewish day schools. Per the report, from Fall 2019 to Fall 2021, Jewish day schools and yeshivas- a Jewish educational institution that focuses on the study of traditional religious texts- reported a net enrollment increase of 3.7 percent across the country. Beth Yeshurun has seen an increased enrollment of 55 percent over the past four years while the Shlenker School has seen an increase of roughly 10 percent since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
