For the seminary experience
that lasts a lifetime
With Hashkafa based classes, dedicated mentorship, and an intense extracurricular program – all in a non-judgmental environment, Pninim is where students get real with themselves, absorb the values and ideals they grew up with and learn to make it their own. For the journey that comes after seminary.

“Pninim is the Bais Yaakov seminary for someone who’s grown up in the system and is looking to gain more from it.
(alumnus)
“Pninim helped me realize who I didn’t want to be, and who I knew I could be.”
(alumnus)
At Pninim, our goal is not “Teacher Training” but “People Training.”
We emphasize personal growth and progress. Our goal is to produce Neshei Chayil who appreciate their Yiddishkeit, understand it, and are ready to pass it along to the next generation.
We want our Pninim students to take the clarity and passion they gain at Pninim into the rest of their lives.
What Alumnae Are Saying
I heard feedback from alumnae and knew I didn’t want what others would describe as a “typical” seminary experience. I knew this would be the only time I’d get this chance. I wanted it to be WOW.

What Parents Are Saying
For parents, there is no greater nachas than watching their daughters grow into the best versions of themselves…
Your journey begins now…
“[After seminary] my daughter became a more refined person. Her middos and sense of dress all shone so much more than they did before she developed a close bond with certain teachers who influenced her in a very positive way.”

Teacher Section
Pninim offers a broad spectrum of teachers and classes provided by the most popular, talented and sought after teachers in Eretz Yisrael. Each one is handpicked to give the maximum educational experience.
Learning Program
The classes at Pninim are not just educational and enjoyable; they’re personal! Our teachers inject the concepts and ideas that students already know with depth and relevance. This is so they can experience a pivotal shift in their personal relationship with Hashem and Yiddishkeit.
Eretz Yisrael Experience
When students breathe in the holy atmosphere of Eretz Yisrael, and test their ability to thrive in new and unfamiliar terrain thousands of miles from home, it is life changing. At Pninim, our girls expand their horizons beyond the classroom with exciting tiyulim, late night discussions on Shabbatonim and much much more…
“This is the “Pninim magic” I see. I sense the dedication of the staff to their talmidos, to be there for them, cherish them, worry about them, dedicate themselves to them, support them, get to know them and their needs, to enhance their attributes and minimize their deficiencies. Parents and future students can see the Pninim administration’s care shine through most when their students talk about their experiences at the school, in their budding confidence with answering questions, in their uninhibited joy of learning, and in their sterling comfort with talking about their life successes and struggles; this is what transforms them. The students’ attitudes, self-knowledge and mesiras nefesh that I see upon their return, and hear in their voices is a direct outgrowth of the love and belief the teachers have in them.
