Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim is an Orthodox yeshiva based in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, New York, United States. It is primarily an American, non-chasidic Haredi Talmudic yeshiva. The yeshiva is legally titled Rabbinical Seminary of America (RSA) but is often referred to as just Chofetz Chaim as that was the nickname of its namesake, Yisroel Meir Kagan. It has affiliate branches in Israel and North America.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $5,900 average net price makes this one of the most affordable options you'll find, and the near-universal 98% acceptance rate reflects its mission to serve a specific religious community rather than a selective academic filter. However, the 34% graduation rate is a serious concern — fewer than 1 in 3 students who start here finish — and that warrants a direct conversation with the school about what's driving that outcome before you commit. Worth considering if you're deeply aligned with its Orthodox rabbinical focus and have a clear plan to stay on track academically.
