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. This includes King David e-mail addresses issued for all students and staff, a library with computers for research assignments and communication, and Smart Boards.
A British Columbia Ministry of Education report recognized the teachers for their commitment to individual support and enrichment.[2]
