Yeshiva Chassidei Gur follows a fixed daily schedule from 6AM – 10:30 PM that includes study, prayers, meals, and periodic study breaks over tea and coffee. Teacher-student relations are based on an ethical and moral dialogue. Methodology includes classroom teaching, pair learning, tutoring and group discussions.  The youngsters spend 3 out of every 4 weekends at the school, celebrating Shabbat with their fellow pupils, and every 4th Shabbat at home with their families.

The pupils of Yeshiva Chassidei Gur are taught to value holiness, purity and modesty, to behave with respect and generosity towards others, and to cope with the evil inclination. Kollel participants are encouraged to carry these values into their married and professional lives. These values are evident in the excellent relations between Haifa's Gerrer Chassidim and their neighbors: secular and Haredi Jews, Christian and Muslim Arabs, and Russian-speaking new immigrants.

Like all children, and especially those at boarding schools, the yeshiva's 100 pupils feel the need for a quiet corner that they can call their own. The school's principal, Rabbi Shlomo Atlas, describes his wish to provide his pupils with "a pastoral, calm and inviting outdoor area in a homelike atmosphere conducive to expanded thought." He envisions developing a modest, landscaped garden setting that will facilitate interior dialogue, the exchange of ideas with friends and study partners, and the working out of difficult intellectual challenges and adolescent emotional crises, and will provide "therapy for [the youngsters'] souls."  He adds that a garden will also provide the pupils with an appropriate setting for praising God through prayer, song and the recital of Psalms.
