Frisch School
The Frisch School, also known as Yeshivat Frisch /frɪʃ/, is a coeducational, Modern Orthodox, yeshiva high school located in Paramus, New Jersey. It was founded in 1972 by Rabbi Menachem Meier, Alfred Frisch and Rabbi Isaac Swift. The school primarily serves the Jewish communities of northern New Jersey and southern New York.
The school is named for founder Alfred Frisch, who owned the land on which the original campus was situated prior to the school's inception in 1972. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1992. Its accreditation expires in 2029. Over the last ten years the student population has grown from 580 to nearly 1000 students.
Frisch School is located at the Henry & Esther Swieca Family Campus, where it moved in 2007. The campus has 41 classrooms, a learning center, six science laboratories, a gymnasium, a library, music and art studios, a Beit Midrash, a "makerspace" (fabrication lab), and a publications room. Outdoors, the campus has a softball field, tennis courts, a basketball-hockey, and a soccer field encircled by a running track. The campus is named in honor of Henry Swieca, who donated the campus.
Founded in 1972 by Rabbi Menachem Meier, Alfred Frisch and Rabbi Isaac Swift, the school had been located at E. 243 Frisch Court in Paramus, on a 7-acre (28,000 m2) plot of land.
For the 2007–08 school year, Frisch moved to 120 West Century Road in Paramus. Frisch purchased this site, 14 acres (57,000 m2) of land and an 115,000-square-foot (10,700 m2) office building, and renovated what had been an office building, constructing an 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) addition. The campus is named in honor of Henry Swieca, who donated the campus. The former Frisch building was sold in 2015 to the school Ben Porat Yosef.
Frisch offers a dual curriculum of Judaic and secular studies. Incoming students choose between eleven specialty tracks: Art; Beit Midrash; Culinary Arts and Food Science; Engineering; Entrepreneurship; Medical Sciences; Music; Philosophy, Politics and Economics; Sports Management Learning center and Business Analytics; World Languages; and Writing. Each track provides specialized academic/vocational training.
The school was re-accredited by the Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools in 2020 and is now accredited through January 2029.
Most of the students are from the Jewish communities of northern New Jersey and New York, with some commuting from Central New Jersey.
