Who We Are

Our Foundation

Founded in 1991 by Rabbi and Mrs. Chaim A. Stamm, Tiferes Miriam was created to support students facing challenges in traditional schools. Over time, we recognized a need in the community for students who didn’t quite fit into traditional or special education settings—those who thrive in a mainstream-style environment but require extra support and smaller classes. In response, we tailored our program to provide these students with the individualized care and attention they need to succeed. Our passionate, experienced team is dedicated to empowering each student to reach her full potential.

Tiferes Miriam is a place where every girl matters. By providing personalized attention in a supportive setting, we help students feel capable, confident, and ready to achieve success in and beyond the classroom.

OUR APPROACH

At Tiferes Miriam, we see the incredible potential in every student and help her uncover it. With a maximum of 10 students per grade, we provide personalized instruction tailored to each girl’s learning style and needs. Our small, supportive environment fosters meaningful relationships, ensuring students feel seen, heard, and understood. By building confidence and focusing on their strengths, we empower our students to take ownership of their growth. With this approach, we are often able to accelerate learning, helping students catch up academically and prove to themselves—and the world—what they’re truly capable of.

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

At Tiferes Miriam, we ensure our students enjoy all the highlights of high school—activities, trips, and events that create opportunities for connection, fun, and growth. These shared experiences allow students to form friendships across all grades, giving them more social opportunities and helping them build real connections with their peers.

Our Student Community

At Tiferes Miriam, we proudly serve a diverse group of girls from various communities, including Brooklyn, Crown Heights, Staten Island, Queens, Far Rockaway, the Five Towns, Monsey, and New Jersey. While they come from different backgrounds, all of our students share the same goal: to learn and grow in a warm, nurturing Bais Yaakov environment.

A Path to Success

CLOSING LEARNING GAPS

Many of our students arrive at our school with significant gaps in their knowledge. We work to identify the skills necessary for further development. Our personalized academic plans are designed to build a solid foundation in every subject, allowing our students to regain lost ground and move forward with confidence. For many, this means achieving milestones like earning a New York State Regents diploma.

FOSTERING SOCIAL CONFIDENCE

At Tiferes Miriam students are part of a supportive social environment where everyone is part of the group. With the opportunity to lead, share ideas and feel valued and appreciated, our students build lasting friendships. This fosters self-esteem and confidence, which are essential for success both in and outside the classroom.

CELEBRATING TALENTS AND PASSIONS

At Tiferes Miriam we empower our students to believe in themselves. As they problem solve and take ownership of their successes, they transform the way they see themselves - from students who need help to capable individuals who can think critically and creatively.

ENCOURAGING INDEPENDENCE

Every student has unique strengths, and we help them explore and develop their interests. Whether in art, music, baking, or other areas, we create opportunities for them to explore their passions. By highlighting and celebrating their talents, our students build a strong sense of self worth and pride.
