History

Founded in 1991 by

Holocaust survivor Irving "Papa" Gelman, Tarbut V'Torah Community Day School (TVT), is an elementary, middle, and high school educational facility located in Irvine, California.[3][6][8] Gelman died in 2018.[8]

The school sits on a 10.5-acre (42,000 m2) campus, opened in 1997 with more than 800 students.

Blue Ribbon Schools in California when the designation was conferred during the 1998-1999 school year.[9][10] The school graduated its first senior class in 2001.[10]

The campus expanded the upper school in September 2002: An area of 11 acres (45,000 m2) was added and a new middle and high school was constructed to accommodate increased enrollment for all grade levels. The campus encompasses 21.5 acres (87,000 m2) and 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) of structures.[7] In 2005-06, a record 645 students (grades K-12) enrolled at TVT, making it the eighth-largest Jewish Community Day School in the United States. In 2013, Tarbut V’Torah named teacher Jeffrey Davis its new chief executive.[6] That year it had 603 students and 84 faculty members, a $13 million operating budget, and total assets of about $42 million.[6]

The name "Tarbut" is inspired by the

Hebrew, simply means culture & Torah.[11][12] Tarbut schools had a curriculum that was secular and included science, humanities, and Hebrew studies, including Jewish history. Today, other Tarbut schools exist in Argentina and in Mexico
, but there is no formal affiliation between either of those schools and Tarbut v'Torah.

TVT's athletics department is divided into Middle School athletics and High School athletics.

Tarbut V' Torah's middle school athletic program competes in the Tri-Way League, consisting of 10 other private schools throughout Orange County. The boys field three teams which include
