There are 2 main reasons why yeshiva day schools and high schools in have
secular studies:
1. When the schools were founded the ONLY way to get parents to send their
kids was to have secular studies . A torah only school would have had no
students
2. The law mandated secular studies

Secular studies were not instituted in the US as a lechatchila but as a
bdieved.
