Dress Code

At Yeshiva Torat Emet, we are committed to providing children with the highest quality education, both in Limudei Kodesh and General Studies. One of the main components of academic success is promoting the positive self-image and dedicated work ethic of each and every student. As such, YTE follows a dress code for grades 1-8, to further foster a strong sense of self-esteem and to encourage a serious, respectful attitude toward school and academic achievement.
