Recently completed in Inwood is Yeshiva Ketana of Long Island.  Yeshiva Ketana of Long Island has established itself as an institution that personifies excellence in education and personal attention for each child.  The Yeshiva's curriculum and academic programs are highly acclaimed and its graduates are actively recruited by top mesivtas.  In order to provide the optimal educational environment for the Yeshiva's current and future students, the  Yeshiva purchased an approximately two- acre property located at 321 Doughty Blvd in Inwood which will be the site of the new YKLI campus. The future home of Yeshiva Ketana of Long Island will house the Yeshiva's pre-school and its elementary school in a modern and spacious facility.
