Gateshead Jewish Academy for Girls
Gateshead Jewish Academy for Girls (Hebrew בית חיה רחל), is a two-year post-secondary school college, or "seminary". It was founded in Gateshead, England in 1998; its principal is Rabbi Avrohom Katz, an author and columnist. It is an  Orthodox Jewish college, attracting Haredi  students from all around the world, with a dormitory and all long term in-living accommodations. Most students come from the United Kingdom but significant numbers come from other European countries. Students range in age from 16 - 21. The  academy's  aim  is  to  provide  students  with  an education in the Torah in  order  to  "guide  and  support  them  in  their  role  as orthodox  Jewish  women  in  adult  life". See Midrasha#Seminaries, for further discussion of this educational approach. The academy also  provides  students with opportunities to take a range of AS/A Levels, GCSE and vocational qualifications in  partnership  with  a  local FE College. References
