History of our School
Located in the heart of the vibrant Jewish community of Memphis, Tennesse, the Margolin Hebrew Academy / Feinstone Yeshiva of the South is a warm, community-centered Orthodox Day School committed to instilling within its students a love of Judaism, the State of Israel, and the Jewish people while simultaneously providing the best in secular and college preparatory studies. Since its inception in 1949, MHA / FYOS has fostered passion and commitment for Jewish learning and for a Jewish lifestyle, while imbuing its students witha deep rooted sense of communal responsibility and the tools for a lifetime of success.
The 210 students of the MHA / FYOS are divided into four divisions, all located on the seven acre school campus in East Memphis. The Leach Early Childhood Program begins with 3 year olds and blends developmentally appropriate skill and content learning with a rich introduction to Jewish life and the Hebrew language in an integrated, center-based, hands-on learning environment infused with love, nurturing, and fun.
The co-educational Lower School division features a caring yet rigorous environment designed to meet the diverse needs of the Memphis Jewish community and highly attuned to the individual needs of every student. Its innovative curricula and extracurricular programming actively nurture curiosity and creativity, community and camaraderie, while facilitating maximal student learning in a full array of General and Judaic studies.
The two High School divisions of MHA / FYOS, the Cooper Yeshiva High School for Boys and the Goldie Margolin High School for Girls, provide a warm, supportive yet challenging single gender environment for young men and women to grow academically, emotionally, and religiously. Their residential programs offer an Orthodox boarding school option for students from across the globe so as to increase the diversity of its student body and to facilitate the formation of new student friendships. Through an unwavering dedication to educational excellence in all subject areas, leadership opportunities, as well as community building initiatives, the high schools prepare their students for successful matriculation to the finest universities, yeshivot, and seminaries in the world.
