Too Good To Be True?
Can one program really fit each unique yeshiva?
One of LifePrep’s greatest strengths is its adaptability. We’ve created a full suite of courses; each school decides which courses to offer, how many periods to schedule, and which services to use. In practice, no two LifePrep programs look the same.
Do LifePrep graduates receive an accredited diploma?
Yes—although the details vary by state. In New Jersey, for example, LifePrep’s curriculum satisfies the requirements to earn a diploma. In New York, five Regents courses must be integrated into the program, and LifePrep has redesigned those courses to meet state requirements.
What is Module Based Instruction, and why is it so effective?
The modular approach replaces traditional textbook-based instruction with clear, outcome-focused lessons. It divides the curriculum into small, discrete modules that are typically short in duration, making it easier for students to stay engaged throughout each lesson.
This results in a more focused and efficient learning experience. Deeper understanding leads to better retention, and students appreciate learning complex material more easily in less time.
What track record does LifePrep have?
LifePrep launched five years ago and has been met with resounding success in 17 yeshivas. These include world-renowned yeshivas such as Yeshivas Novominsk in Brooklyn, Ohel Torah of Monsey, Yeshiva Shaarei Chaim of Far Rockaway, Yeshiva Shaarei Orah—Rabbi Daniel Cohn’s yeshiva—Mesivta of Long Beach, Yeshiva of Peekskill, and Telshe Chicago and Telshe Cleveland.
In 2022, the first year Regents were administered after Covid, 97% of LifePrep talmidim passed, with average scores in the mid-80s—all while using half the time for the life-skills–based curriculum.
