YULA (Yeshiva University High School of Los Angeles) is an Orthodox Jewish high school in Los Angeles, California. YULA is comprised of two campuses, the Nagel Family Campus for boys, and the other for girls. They currently have no affiliation with Yeshiva University in New York. The boys campus is, however, loosely affiliated with The Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Museum of Tolerance, which is located next door. The current headmaster is Rabbi Shalom Tendler. In the year 2006, Rabbi Tendler announced his resignation as headmaster. The Girl's School Principal is currently Rabbi Yosef Furman. YULA is a college-preparatory school.

The Dual Curriculum

Students at YULA partake in what is known as a dual curriculum. As such, the learning day is split in to two parts. One part is devoted to the general studies such as history, language, and science, while the next part of the day is devoted to Judaic studies. On the boy's campus, the first half of the day is devoted to Judaic studies, while the second half is devoted to secular studies. Due to the dual curriculum, the school day at YULA is much longer than most college-preparatory schools. The boy's campus lets out at 5:15, while the girl's campus let's out at 4:45.
