About Yeshiva Derech Chaim

Yeshiva Derech Chaim is known for focused, text-centered learning that builds clear thinking and steady habits. Faculty mentorship runs close to the ground, and the heart of campus is a humming study hall with a solid library, quiet nooks, and spaces for prayer and meals. Students find advising and practical support that helps balance coursework and life, shaping a respectful, close-knit atmosphere.

Student life leans small but active: study partners, holiday gatherings, service projects, and pickup games in nearby parks. Career prep comes through mentoring, résumé guidance, and ties to community organizations and local businesses. Brooklyn itself adds daily opportunity, from kosher spots and shops to internships a subway ride away. And the weekly rhythm of prayer and Shabbat gives the place a calm center.
