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 Torah institution with approximately 550 students from early childhood (2–4 years) through grade twelve with over 2,000 alumni, including multiple Rhodes Scholars, National Merit Scholars, prominent professors, scientists and business leaders. More than 325 of them are living in Israel. Student body Most Maimonides Students reside in Newton (40%), Brookline (22%), and the Sharon area (Sharon, Stoughton, Canton, Malden [21%]). As of 2020, Maimonides has 3 students in Rhode Island. Other areas include Watertown, Natick, Needham, Boston, Cambridge, Westborough, Melrose, Waltham, and Bedford. Occasionally, a student from a distant state or European country joins the student body, after making independent boarding arrangements. Each year several Israelis whose families are temporarily studying or working in Greater Boston join the student body. Students from several feeder day schools augment the student population at transition points such as Grade 6 or 9.
