Through this holistic approach, we prepare our students to grow into confident, capable, and compassionate young adults.
High Schools

Alongside a rigorous curriculum, students enjoy a rich variety of extracurricular programmes, from music, art, and drama to yoga, gymnastics, and more. These activities encourage creativity, self-expression, and physical well-being, and, combined with personalised guidance and support, help students discover their talents, develop life skills, and grow in confidence.

Orot B’Emek – School for Girls
Orot B’Emek is an elementary and middle school for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds, many of whom have limited exposure to Jewish traditions at home. The school combines strong STEM and Jewish studies, providing transportation and three nutritious meals daily for students from surrounding low-income areas. Enrichment opportunities include music, drama, an aviary, a critter corner, and a hydroponic garden – creating a vibrant and engaging learning environment.
