About NEAT
For girls’ education, thinking ahead isn’t just smart.
It’s NEAT thinking.
New England Academy of Torah (NEAT) is a girls’ high school in Providence, RI.
For more than forty years, NEAT has been striving to provide a warm, growth-focused education for girls both locally and throughout the United States. With a proud eye toward our past and a watchful eye toward the future, NEAT is in the middle of creating an educational setting that will be career-focused, allowing students to lay foundations for their aspirations, transform their interests into practical pathways, and gain a meaningful head start on their path toward seminary, higher education or other future endeavors.

Our Approach
Every girl learns differently.
Some flourish with more individualized attention, smaller class sizes, and in an academic environment tailored to their unique needs. At NEAT, our goal is that each girl learns, irrespective of where their level is.
We believe that learning should be hands-on and engaging, so that each student can be invested in their learning. With a more personalized and growth-oriented approach, girls won’t be lost in the crowd. Instead, they can be given the attention and encouragement needed to build confidence, develop practical skills, and discover their strengths while preparing for the future.

Starting early also gives students the gift of time.
It allows them to explore their strengths, sharpen their skills, and build confidence before major life decisions are made. Early exposure to different career paths allows students to see their potential take shape while still in a guided, supportive environment, equipping them with clarity, preparedness, and direction for the years ahead.
Our Curriculum
NEAT is accredited by the Rhode Island Department of Education, and upon completion, students receive a certified high school diploma. While under development, our career-focused tracks strive to offer opportunities for girls to explore their own interests, including:
Photography
Graphic Design
Culinary Arts
Makeup Artistry
Bookkeeping
Dressmaking & Fashion
Entrepreneurship
and more!
Our Staff
Courses are to be led by accomplished educators, who bring real-world experience and hands-on insight into each classroom. Their guidance will equip students with relevant, practical skills that build confidence and direction far beyond high school.
Alongside our professional instructors, NEAT’s Limudei Kodesh program will be led by experienced Mechanchos and Rabbanim who will bring dedication, depth, and innovative chinuch methods into the classroom. Their guidance and warmth will foster the Yiddishkeit and personal growth, keeping both central to each student's daily experience.

Mrs. Tzippy Hollander
Principal
Mrs. Hollander, a Queens, NY native, holds her Master’s degree in School Psychology from Queens College. She then served as a beloved guidance counselor at Shevach High School, her alma mater. She and her husband, Rabbi Matis Hollander, a noted Mechanech, share a deep commitment to teaching and inspiring students. In her new role as Principal of New England Academy of Torah, she will continue her passion of creating a warm, growth-oriented environment rooted in Torah values, one that supports each student academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Our Hashkafah
NEAT's chinuch is guided by a clear Hashkafah.
Our Hashkafah shapes the tone, standards, and environment of the entire school. Academic growth and Ruchniyus grow together here, with Yiras Shamayim at its core. From the classroom to student life, every part of the experience is being built to nurture Bnos Yisroel who are rooted in Torah values and confident in who they are.
Enrollment Information
New England Academy of Torah proudly continues its tradition of serving families far beyond the Providence area, opening a unique educational opportunity to girls from across the United States.
For girls who need housing, boarding is available in carefully selected host homes that reflect the school's Hashkafah. Small groups of girls will live together in warm, supervised settings that will give them the independence to grow while making sure they always feel supported and looked after. In addition, being in a small community will help each girl feel valued and cherished, knowing that they truly make a difference.
