4635 NE 9th Ave, Portland · Rabbi Shammai Eidelman (Principal)

Maimonides Jewish Day School transitioned to Tamim Academy of Portland in 2024, joining a successful national network of Tamim Jewish schools. Tamim Portland will begin with kindergarten through 2nd, with a new grade added in each subsequent year through eighth grade. Contact the school for current enrollment opportunites and details on the transition.

Tamim Maimonides is a small, close-knit PK–8 Jewish day school that blends rigorous general studies with daily Hebrew, Judaics, and tefillah, emphasizing character, community service, and joyful Jewish life. The program highlights personalized instruction (small classes, flexible grouping) and “whole-child” development, students move through clear literacy and math progressions while practicing leadership at assemblies, holidays, and mitzvah projects. Teachers weave Hebrew across the day (songs, stories, science vocabulary) so emerging bilingualism feels natural, not tacked on. A typical week includes core academics, art/PE/technology, and lively celebrations of the Jewish calendar, giving students frequent authentic audiences for speaking, reading, and performing. Net: a warm, values-forward school community where students are known by name and challenged to grow, academically, spiritually, and socially.

Tuition: $15,350 (2026-2027)
