"Constructive social action allows us to live the contradiction that underlies the education system - on the one hand, it is hierarchical and reproduces a given social situation, and on the other hand, it educates for democracy, creativity, intellectual progress, and social change."

Social & values education

Social, values, and community education

Addresses the question of the students' ethical and community identity in and outside of school. Social action allows students to take joint responsibility for a social problem or need, and our students often engage in this activity. Creativity and activity create a sense of belonging to the life of the school and the community, so that art serves as a central branch of social activity. The school has a community entrepreneurship incubator, extensive community projects, a vibrant and active student council, and a wide variety of additional social activities.

Social
Involvement

The activity takes place among all students of the school in grades 10-12.
The activity takes place within the framework of the majors, parent classes, and individually. It is well-rooted in the school tradition and is a required condition for receiving the matriculation certificate.
The school has a wide range of partnerships with the local community and with many other social organizations, including artistic activity projects.

Preparing for meaningful service

The school takes part in preparing youth for service in the IDF and for national-civilian service in Israel. The educational goal underlying the activity of the preparation centers is to present service as a first-class civic right to youth, so that they can successfully integrate into meaningful service within the military or within national-civilian service on their way to mature and productive citizenship. At our school, the activity takes place in grades 11-12, which is tailored to the dilemmas and challenges that the school's students face.
