Baltimore, Maryland · Grades 9 to 12
A yeshiva high school where boys grow in ruchnius and in skill.
We offer skill-based shiurim so our students learn how to learn, while developing a lasting appreciation of Torah.
What YMC is built on
YMC is built on developing B’nai Torah—young men who are deeply committed to learning, guided by Torah values, and prepared to carry those principles into every stage of their lives.
Torah
Grounded in Torah
Learning is the center of the day, not a subject on the schedule. Morning seder and afternoon shiur frame everything else.
Community
Built on community
Baltimore families built this yeshiva and keep it open each year.
Athletics
Athletics and activities
Basketball and baseball, plus gym classes and personal training as part of the school day.
Partnership
Partnership with parents
Parents hear from us before there is a problem.
Legacy
Preparing leaders
Boys leave able to learn on their own and to carry responsibility.
The full picture of a YMC year
A day here has two halves and neither is an afterthought
Limudei kodesh runs morning and afternoon, with mishmar twice a week. General studies is a full college-preparatory program. Everything else is built around the two.
Morning seder and afternoon shiur frame the day, with mishmar twice a week. Placement is by skill rather than by grade, so every boy learns how to learn.
A full college-preparatory program that meets state requirements and prepares boys for whatever they choose after high school. Eligible seniors can take AP classes and college courses through Touro.
Shabbatons and trips are part of how a boy grows here, not a break from his day.
A real, competitive sports program — basketball and baseball, plus gym classes and personal training as part of the school day.
Every student meets regularly with guidance staff for academic planning and for what comes after high school. Beginning this year, every boy also has access to workshops and support from a licensed therapist.
YMC weekly highlights
“People often ask what type of student we are looking for. The answer is simple: one with motivation. All we ask is that a boy walks into our sacred Yeshiva with a desire to learn and grow.”
