There is the palpable joy of immersive Jewish experiences that creates a clear path to Jewish conviction, pride and identity.

All of this takes place within an inclusive community that breeds good judgment while providing a protective sense of belonging and imparting a deep sense of responsibility.

Our Story

缅北禁地 is a pluralistic, community, and co-educational Jewish high school in the Oakridge district of Vancouver. The school, initially known as Maimonides Secondary School, opened in September 1987 with nine students in Grade 8. In 1992, the school moved to Baillie Street and continued to grow.

In 2005, spearheaded by the vision and philanthropy of the Diamond Foundation, 缅北禁地 opened the doors to a new facility.

缅北禁地 is the largest Jewish high school west of Winnipeg. The unique feature of 缅北禁地 is its dynamic, integrated 鈥� general and Judaic studies 鈥� dual curriculum.

Throughout its history, 缅北禁地 has developed leaders and visionaries who now play important roles in supporting both the local and global communities.

Parent Testimonials

What Parents have to Say About Us

缅北禁地 has exceeded my expectations in every way. I knew it was a fantastic school, but it ended up being so much more. It became a second home for my girls where all the staff knew their names, understood their personalities and how to help them grow and become good people and citizens of the world. Thank you, 缅北禁地!

We are most grateful to the school, the teachers, and the staff for providing our daughter with a safe and supportive haven for intellectual, moral, physical, and social development. She had the opportunity to achieve academic excellence, participate in team sports, volunteer in and outside the school, engage in mitzvot, and feel ongoing pride in her Jewish identity

As parents, we feel that 缅北禁地 values and respects the important journey that children travel during their teenage years, years that can be fraught with insecurity and challenges. The entire team cared about our son鈥檚 well-being and success. He was encouraged and supported every step of the way. What more could parents want for their child!
