The Moriah School is a Modern Orthodox Jewish day school located in Englewood, New Jersey. It educates nearly 800 students from toddler through eighth grade.
The Moriah School was founded in 1964 by Rabbi Isaac L. Swift to serve as a cornerstone for Jewish education in Northern New Jersey. The school originally opened in the basement of Rabbi SwiftâÂÂs synagogue, Congregation Ahavath Torah in Englewood, with a founding class of 12 students. Swift's vision was to create a 'dual-curriculum' institution that synthesized traditional Torah study with rigorous secular academics, a model that helped transform Englewood into a hub of Modern Orthodoxy.
As of the 2024-25 school year, the school had an enrollment of 740 students in grades T-8 and 102 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a studentâÂÂteacher ratio of 6.7.
In March 2017, twelve eighth graders from the Moriah school competed in the first annual èÃÂÃÂàCUP competition at Ben Porat Yosef. The students faced teams from Ben Porat Yosef and Yavneh Academy. Moriah students won first prize with their glove-controlled RC car to help paralysis victims.
