King David High School (Hebrew: בֵּית סֵפֶר תִּיכוֹן הַמֶלֶךְ דָּוִד) is a pluralistic Jewish community high school in Vancouver, British Columbia. The high schools offers comprehensive general and Judaic studies programs.
History
The high school opened as Maimonides Secondary School in September 1987, housed on the upper floor of Schara Tzedeck Synagogue.[1] The school moved to Baillie Street in 1992, and was renamed Talmud Torah High School in 1998.
In 2005, King David High School opened the doors to a new facility at Willow and 41st Avenue, in close proximity to the Vancouver Jewish Community Centre.[1]
Facilities and academics
In addition to classrooms the high school has two science labs, a home economics lab, a music and drama studio, a library, and an art room. King David offers an information network giving students and staff access to over 60 workstations and a wireless network for laptop computers.
