The King David High School (formerly known as Maimonides High School, Vancouver Jewish High School, and Vancouver Talmud Torah High School, known colloquially as King David, KDHS, or just KD) is a Jewish day school and Secondary School located in Vancouver, Canada.
The school began in portable classrooms on Baillie Street, but moved into a purpose-built structure in 2005. King David teaches the traditions of Judaism within the standard curriculum of the Province of British Columbia.
As the school does not contain a gym, students often go to nearby parks, such as Montgomery Park, or the JCC gym for physical education classes.
