The Yeshiva University High School for Girls is accredited by the Regents of the University of the State of New York . As such, its courses and requirements conform to the standards of the Board of Regents, and examinations in Regents subjects are given in June of each year in a number of required subjects. It should be emphasized that Regents examinations are given primarily for the purpose of accreditation and are not the primary goal of the General Studies curriculum, which is determined, taught, and evaluated by the administration and faculty of the school. Students should not assume, therefore, that a high grade on a Regents examination in June will offset a poor or mediocre record in standard classroom work, including tests, papers, semester examinations and positive participation in discussions. All courses in the curriculum, except some electives, are offered in both Honors and Regular sections.
Honors classes are more demanding and enriching, but cover essentially the same basic material.
Students are placed in Honors sections on the basis of aptitude and interest. Those with questions concerning the General Studies curriculum are invited to contact the Assistant Principal or the Principal .
