A school and a covenant community, under one roof.

The Dr. Yah'ki School of Health & Human Development and Seder HaShuvah share a single campus and a single purpose: the restoration of the whole person.

We teach the body and we restore the household.

One place does both because they were never meant to be separate.

Most people arrive through one door. Some come to study botanical science, anatomy and nutrition, and to earn a credential they can practice with. Others come looking for a community ordered by Torah and natural law, and a way of life they can raise a family inside.

Both doors open onto the same campus. A student may never take a covenant. A member may never sit a class. Many do both, and the Center is built so that neither path gets in the way of the other.

This page is an introduction. Admissions, membership and visits all begin with a conversation, so there is a form at the bottom and a real person on the other end of it.

Two institutions

What you are choosing between, or choosing both of.

The School

Dr. Yah'ki School of Health & Human Development

Classroom instruction · Two tracks · Certificates of completion

A working school with terms, instructors, coursework and records. Students enroll in a track, take classes on campus and online, submit work, sit assessments and build toward a credential.

Teaching is grounded in the sciences of the body and in the traditions that shaped how people cared for it long before a clinic existed.

  • 01Apply and be admitted to a track
  • 02Register for classes each term
  • 03Coursework, assessments and attendance on record
  • 04Progress toward the credential, tracked throughout
  • 05Completion, transcript and certificate
The Ministry

Seder HaShuvah

Covenant community · Households and assemblies · Rites of passage

A covenant community for people seeking a life ordered by Torah, natural law and the responsibilities of a household. Membership is a journey rather than a registration, and it moves at the pace of the person walking it.

Members are gathered into households, covenant circles and local assemblies, each with leadership that knows them by name.

  • 01Visit a gathering and meet the community
  • 02Orientation for those who want to go further
  • 03Foundational training as a covenant candidate
  • 04Rites of passage, walked with a mentor
  • 05Covenant membership and a place in a household
Study

Two tracks.

Every student chooses a track at application. The tracks share a campus and some foundational coursework, but they lead to different work in the world. A student may pursue both, one after the other.

Track One

Holistic Healing

For those who intend to practice, teach or advise on natural health. Built on the structure and function of the body first, then the plants, foods and practices that support it.

Human Biology Anatomy & Physiology Botanical Science Nutrition Natural Hygiene Holistic Health Education
Track Two

Ministerial Leadership

For those called to teach, shepherd and lead within the community. Grounded in Hebrew and scriptural study, then carried into the practical work of holding a household and an assembly together.

Hebrew Studies Biblical Studies Family Development Leadership Development Community Development

Agriculture and land stewardship run alongside both tracks and are open to students on either path. The full course catalog, term dates and tuition are sent with the admissions packet.

The Center

One campus, built for both.

Thirty-eight thousand square feet of former church school, rebuilt into one campus that holds the school, the ministry and the health clinic. The classrooms were reworked around the subjects now taught in them.

Gatherings, lectures and community meals happen in the same building where classes are held. That is deliberate. Students and members are not kept apart.

Visits are welcome and are arranged in advance. Use the form below and say which day suits you.
