École Maïmonide (Hebrew: בֵּית סֵפֶר הַרַמְבַּ״ם) is a French-language Jewish day school located in Montreal, Quebec.
[1][2] Several thousand Moroccan Jews emigrated to Quebec, with immigration reaching its peak between 1965 and 1967 as Canada relaxed its quotas for North African Jews, and Quebec's immigration laws began favouring francophones.
[4] The existing Jewish community, which had historically associated with the anglophone minority, had no French institutions to offer the new immigrants.
A committee representing both groups met with the Ministry of Education to discuss implementation of the plan.
The project was approved, and École Maïmonide founded in 1969, initially operating in a wing of the Catholic Saint Antonin School.
