Maimonides families come from a wide range of Jewish backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to raising children in an environment where Torah learning, academic excellence, and community values are woven together. While our school is proudly Modern Orthodox, you don’t need to identify as Modern Orthodox to thrive here. Families who choose Maimonides are seeking an education for their children that is purposeful, rooted in Torah and tradition, and alive with meaning. They are drawn to our strong Judaic studies program, our serious approach to general academics, and our deep connection to Israel and the Jewish people.

The students who flourish here are curious, engaged learners who benefit from an environment that nurtures both their intellectual growth and their spiritual development—through Tefillah (prayer), engagement with text and tradition, and an environment that stresses how Jewish values can shape us and our world. Families looking for more than just a school — for a vibrant, caring community where their children will be challenged, supported, and inspired — will feel at home at Maimonides.

Nearly all of our graduates continue on to four-year colleges and universities, and close to 90% first choose to spend a gap year in Israel immersed in Torah study, personal growth, and connection to the land and people of Israel. Afterward, they matriculate at top schools across the country, where they are known not only for their academic preparation but also for their leadership—often serving as central voices in their campus Jewish communities. Some pursue study at Yeshiva University, continuing to deepen both their Judaic and general learning. Others choose to serve in the IDF or make aliyah, reflecting their deep commitment to Israel.

A Maimonides graduate emerges with both competence and confidence—grounded in Torah, enriched by Jewish values, and equipped with a robust general education. They are poised to make a meaningful impact as Jews and as citizens of the world, ready to lead with purpose and to be changemakers in whatever fields they enter.

Our school day begins at 8:00 a.m., with preschoolers heading outdoors for play and exploration while the rest of the school begins with age-appropriate tefillah, setting the tone for the day.

In the Elementary School, students spend half of their day in Judaic studies and half in general studies, with a robust mix of specials woven in—gym, art, music, and science—so that learning is both balanced and dynamic. The school day ends at 3:00 p.m. for grades K–2 and 3:45 p.m. for grades 3–5.

Middle and Upper School students begin with tefillah and then move through a rotating schedule of classes. Their learning spans English, math, science, history, Hebrew language, and Judaic studies (Chumash, Navi, and Mishna in grade 6; Talmud from grade 7 onward). Middle Schoolers enjoy electives and chugim (activities) that spark curiosity and allow for exploration. Upper School students dive deeper with a wide range of electives—psychology, computer science, art, financial literacy, and more—as well as clubs, collaborative periods, and opportunities to connect with teachers. Middle School dismisses at 3:55 p.m., while Upper School concludes at 5:00 p.m.

Across all grades, after-school programs provide enrichment and convenient one-time pickup options for families with children in multiple divisions.

From morning tefillah to the last bell, a Maimonides day is purposeful and vibrant—rooted in Torah, enriched with rigorous academics, and alive with opportunities for growth, friendship, and joy.

At Maimonides, Judaic and General studies are not competing priorities—they elevate one another. Our students spend meaningful time each day immersed in both. Torah learning sharpens critical thinking and ethical awareness, while general academics expand knowledge and spark curiosity across disciplines. This “robust cycle of learning” means what a student learns in Chumash may inform how they think about history, and what they discover in science may deepen their appreciation of Torah. The result is a truly integrated education, where students see knowledge as connected and purposeful.

We know that every student learns differently, and we are committed to helping each child grow with confidence. Our teachers provide in-class differentiation, and our robust Learning Center offers individualized support for students in grades K–12.

In the Elementary School, math and literacy specialists (for both English and Hebrew) work with students individually and in small groups, while our partnership with Gateways ensures additional support and remediation when needed. As students move into Middle and Upper School, they are guided to think more deliberately about their learning styles, strengths, and areas for growth. Support is available across all subject areas and includes coaching in executive function skills, helping students develop the habits they need for success in high school, college, and beyond.

The result is a community of learners who not only optimize their academic potential but also know themselves deeply—students who approach challenges with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
