Over 60 high school girls from across Queens came together on Wednesday, September 9, for the kickoff of 4G Queens, an exciting start to what promises to be another meaningful year.

HALB’s “Screen Free to Be Me” program is back for the third year, and it is better than ever! Students are incentivized to put their screens away for an hour or two each evening, encouraging more quality family time at home. The benefits are endless, and more students than ever are participating!

Bnos Malka Academy happily welcomed students back for the new school year. Since school began a week before Rosh HaShanah, the girls had time to settle into their classrooms, meet their teachers, and get back into a learning routine before the Yamim Nora’im.

 Many new, innovative programs and courses are scheduled for the fall

In its latest college guide, for 2027, the respected Princeton Review has named Queens College a Best College—a national honor extended for the 35th year in a row. It also named Queens a Best Regional College–Northeast. The Princeton Review, which offers test preparation, tutoring, and other educational services, issues annual college rankings that students rely on in choosing the schools they wish to attend.

We may not have had many days of school before Rosh HaShanah, but the students at Lev Chana learned so much and were so excited to dip apples in honey, listen to the shofar, and share everything they learned with their families!

It’s a new school year at the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central)! Over the summer, Wildcats traveled, worked, volunteered, vacationed, and experienced life outside the classroom – and now Team Central is meeting the 2026-27 school year with joy and intention. The new theme for this school year? “Living with Gratitude.” Over the fall and spring semesters, YUHSG will offer events and initiatives that will encourage faculty and students to approach each day with an eye for brachos and a sense of thankfulness for everyday gifts, both large and small.
