History

When the school first opened in 1968, a year after the local orthodox boys' yeshiva; Yeshiva Toras Chaim, it had a 9th and 10th grade, with an 11th grade opening the following year, tripling the student body. Most students were local, with around 18 coming from out of town and boarding with local families at the time. In 1971, the graduating class consisted of eight students.

Beth Jacob has been led by Rabbi Myer J. Schwab since its founding.
