Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore
This year we have 556 students B’H.
Every school says they help every child, what’s the Bnos Yisroel way of ensuring that every student is set up for success?
We work very hard to facilitate success for every student. In short, the answer comes down to size and teamwork. We have only two classes per grade and try to limit each class to twenty girls. This helps us really know each student. We then work as a team to ensure that the academic, social and emotional needs of every girl are met. Every division is structured with Principals, Assistant Principals and Coordinators, and each division has its own Learning Center Special Education team and its own Project Yedid Social Worker team to help each student gain from a supportive educational experience. We offer enrichment support, remediation support and a lot of specialty programs to enhance the girls’ schedules.
What types of specialty programs does Bnos Yisroel offer?
We have many programs to make learning more relevant and fun. In Middle School, we offer two elective classes per semester, one with an educational focus, and one with a talent or hobby focus. One of the interesting classes is “Science in the Kitchen.” In High School, we offer a Chaburah elective, where girls pick a certain subject they would like to learn more about. In the younger grades, we have lunch groups and dance groups and different types of specialty groups to give all girls a chance to shine. Another example of how small schools can do things differently within this topic is our Middle School GO. Every girl in 8th grade is given a chance to be the head of GO, as every month there is a new group of heads. Over the course of the year, every single girl is given a chance to be a leader.
How many alumni does Bnos Yisroel have?
We currently have 10 years of graduates, with nearly 260 alumni. Every year, a group of graduates comes back to school to work for us. We even have children of our graduates enrolled in school already, so we are on our second generation of Bnos Yisroel students.
What do your graduates do after they graduate?
Whatever they dream! Some girls become teachers, some girls become doctors, some girls become accountants. Our goal is that every girl should be proud to be Jewish, happy with their path in life and have the tools to succeed in fulfilling her individual mission.
How do you support your girls after they graduate?
One of the special things we do is we have hired a local shadchan to give specific hours to our girls every week. She is easily accessible and loves meeting with the girls. Boruch Hashem, she has made a few shidduchim. Pre-covid, we had numerous Alumni events and classes, and look forward to continuing these gatherings and classes in the next few months!
What kind of campaign are you having?
We are having a matching campaign on November 23-24. The theme of the campaign is CREATING MASTERPIECES and that is something we do all day, every day. A masterpiece is the culmination of a lot of work, effort, dedication, uniqueness and beauty. And so is every Bnos Yisroel student!! We work hard to create masterpieces and are proud of each of our girls. EVERY DONATION TO OUR CAMPAIGN WILL BE QUADRUPLED!
How can people support this great community school?

We are proud to showcase our masterpieces, and we are so happy to work hard every day to improve and refine each masterpiece.
