The school was founded in 1946, and moved to its current location on Elmgrove Avenue on Providence's East Side in 1962. The current dean of PHDS is Rabbi Peretz Scheinerman. The famed Rabbi Mordechai Nissel was its dean from March 97 through July 2003. It is affiliated with Orthodox Judaism, but enrolls students who are Jewish of other denominations as well. It is affiliated with New England Academy of Torah, a girls-only high school. High school students from outside of Providence have the option to board with host families during the school year.
