The École Yabné[1][2][3][4] is a Jewish religious school founded 1948, in Paris by Chief Rabbi and Jacob Kaplan with the help of rabbi Élie Munk and Chief Rabbi Henri Schilli which continues to run to this day.

History

In 1948 the Chief Rabbi Jacob Kaplan, with the help of Suzanne Aron, created a Jewish lycée which he called "École Yabné."[5] He received help from Rabbi Élie Munk, Chief Rabbi Henri Schilli, and from the communities of Synagogue Adas Yereim|rue Cadet, Synagogue de la rue de Montevideo,rue Montévidéo, rue Pavée and Synagogue Rashi (Paris),rue Ambroise-Thomas. To run the school, Suzanne Aron called upon Albert Crémieux.

It was established in 1948, on the grounds of the Gustave de Rothschild Foundation,[6] at 60 rue Claude-Bernard, in the Quartier Latin. There was not enough room in the small building for all the Classe de sixième française|sixth-form classes in the final year. The solution was to educate half the students in the morning, and half in the afternoon. Some classes also took place in the Séminaire israélite de France,rabbinical seminary, located at 9 rue Vauquelin.

The situation continued until the construction, in the 1960s, of a multi-story building, far more spacious and in the same location, which can accommodate all classes. This building was opened on 2 May 1965. The building included a gym and a refectory for the first time.

In 1976, in agreement with the centre Rachi classes took place from first year to the final year. Yabné could then accommodate 750 students.

In 1993, the school left the Quartier Latin for the Porte d'Italie. It is currently the largest Jewish college in France. It has more than 1000 students from the kindergarten to the final year.

The primary school has the name "École Yabné- Henri Schilli".[7]

Lycée ranking

In 2015, the lycée ranked 47th out of 109 at départemental level in terms of teaching quality, and 452nd at national level.[8] The ranking is based on three criteria; the bac results, the proportion of students who obtain their baccalauréat after two years at the establishment and the added value (calculated based on social origin of students, their age, and their national diploma results).[9]
