Frequently asked questions
How many Orthodox Jewish day schools are there in Baltimore?
ShulMap lists 16 Orthodox day schools and yeshivas in Baltimore — 7 for boys, 1 for girls and 5 coed. Park Heights (8) and Pikesville (8) have the most. Counts are what we have mapped, not a census: not every school reports to the federal survey we draw on.
Which are the largest Orthodox day schools in Baltimore?
By enrollment reported to the US Department of Education's Private School Survey (2023–24): Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School in Pikesville (866 students), Bnos Yisroel in Park Heights (577 students) and Cheder Chabad of Baltimore in Park Heights (392 students). Size is not a measure of quality or fit — visit, and ask families in the community.
Which Orthodox high schools are in Baltimore?
For boys: Baltimore Torah School, Yeshivas Mekor Chaim, Mesivta Neimus Hatorah, Israel Henry Beren High School, Mesivta Kesser Torah of Baltimore and Talmudical Academy of Baltimore. For girls: Bnos Yisroel. Coed: Cheder Chabad of Baltimore and Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School. Many families also send high-school students to yeshivos and seminaries out of town.
Is this every Orthodox school in Baltimore?
No. Most schools here come from the US Department of Education's Private School Universe Survey (2023–24 school year), which lists the schools that respond to it; others were added from the schools' own sites. Some well-known schools do not appear in the survey, and new ones open every year. Ask the shuls and families in the community, and confirm grades, admissions and tuition directly with each school.
