Maimonides School (Hebrew: ישיבת רמב"ם Yeshivat Rambam) is a coeducational, Modern Orthodox, Jewish day school located in Brookline, Massachusetts. The school was founded in 1937 by Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik and his wife Tonya Soloveitchik. It is named after Rabbi Moses Maimonides.
Today, Maimonides is a world-renowned Torah institution with approximately 600 students from kindergarten through grade twelve and over 1,700 alumni, including multiple Rhodes Scholars, National Merit Scholars, prominent professors, scientists and business leaders. About 200 of them are living in Israel.
The vast majority of Maimonides students come from one of three communities: Brookline, Newton and Sharon. Other communities, such as Providence, Marblehead, Brighton, Malden, Portland, Maine, Lexington, Bedford, Lynn and Natick are also represented in the student body. Also, several exchange students from Europe, specifically Italy and Germany, have joined the school in recent years.
Maimonides School currently is situated on a 4-acre (16,000 m2) campus in central Brookline, and is housed in two buildings.
