Gateshead Jewish Academy for Girls (Hebrew בית חיה רחל), is a two-year post-secondary school college, or "seminary". It was founded in Gateshead, England in 1998; its principal is Rabbi Avrohom Katz, an author and columnist.
It is an Orthodox Jewish college, attracting Haredi students from all around the world, with a dormitory and all long term in-living accommodations. Most students come from the United Kingdom but significant numbers come from other European countries.[1] Students range in age from 16 - 21.[1]
The academy's aim is to provide students with an education in the Torah in order to "guide and support them in their role as orthodox Jewish women in adult life".[1] See Midrasha#Seminaries, for further discussion of this educational approach.
The academy also provides students with opportunities to take a range of AS/A Levels, GCSE and vocational qualifications in partnership with a local FE College.
