History

Ohr Eliyahu Academy, originally called the Emanuel Streisand School of the Pacific Jewish Center, was founded in the mid-1980s in Venice, California. As the school grew, Ohr Eliyahu relocated to a former Culver City public school near Kenneth Hahn State Park. After leasing the site for four years the school purchased the campus for $1.4 million in 1999.^[1]

New Campus

In April 2009, Yeshiva Aharon Yaakov - Ohr Eliyahu bought the former Daniel Murphy Catholic High School campus, located in the heavily Orthodox Jewish populated Fairfax District.^[1] The old site was sold and is now the Stoneview Nature Conservancy.

The 2010-2011 school year marked the beginning of YAYOE's use of its newly remodeled 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m²) campus.

Curriculum

YAYOE is accredited by the Bureau of Jewish Education and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.^[2][3]

Awards

Torah Umesorah awarded the school and Rabbi Shlomo Goldberg the Hersh Potok Memorial School of the Year Award and the Maurice and Goldie Rothman Award for Outstanding Educator respectively.^[4][5]
