Maimonides School in Brookline, MA is a Modern Orthodox pre-school - 12th grade day school where rigorous Torah and General Studies stand side by side.  Each enriches the other, and together shape a worldview in which all learning is sacred. 

In our Middle and Upper School divisions, students build toward mastery in bilingual literacy, mathematics, and the sciences; develop skills in Chumash, Navi and Gemara; and grow in their middot.  They experience living Torah through tefillah, experiential learning,  leadership opportunities, shabbatonim, and a deeply rooted sense of identification with Medinat Yisrael.  Our graduates have a strong sense of purpose, responsibility, and connection to the Jewish people.
