- Bais Yaakov Machon Academy
Bais Yaakov Machon Academy (also known as Bais Yaakov Machon) is a high school for Jewish girls. It primarily sevices the Bukharian Jewish community located in Briarwood, Queens, New York City. Its primary goal is to help the Bukharian Jewish community strengthen its Jewish education.
The school recently changed its name from Machon Academy to Bais Yaakov Machon and its location from Forest Hills to Briarwood.
Policy and history
Unlike most Bais Yaakov schools, Bais Yaakov Machon does not assign a student a Hebrew level according to a student's grade. Rather, it takes into account each student's knowledge so that every girl can be challenged and keep up with her classmates, at a level at which she can accomplish the most.
In September 2004, the administration of Bais Yaakov Machon removed the 7th and 8th grades due to space limitations. However, in September 2008, the grades were reinstated.
