About BBY of Chicago

A School Built on Values & Vision

Bnos Bais Yaakov of Chicago is a Haredi Jewish girls' school dedicated to the comprehensive chinuch of each talmida. Rooted in the timeless values of the Bais Yaakov tradition started by Sarah Schenirer, we provide an environment where every girl is known, valued, and guided to reach her full potential.

Our school offers a rich dual curriculum — combining deep Judaic studies with a strong General Studies program — preparing our students for success in all areas of life after graduation.

Located at 6212 N. Lincoln Ave in Chicago, we serve families throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and are proud to be part of the vibrant local Orthodox Jewish community.

The Pillars of a BBY Education

Torah & Yiras Shamayim

A deep connection to Torah and a genuine reverence for Hashem is at the heart of everything we do. We cultivate a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

02

Academic Excellence

Our General Studies program meets the highest academic standards, empowering graduates to pursue higher education and professional goals with confidence.

Middos & Character

We believe education is more than academics. We shape young women of integrity, warmth, and responsibility — true bnos aliya in every sense.

We work closely with families, rabbinic leadership, and the broader Chicago community to create a cohesive, supportive environment for every student.
