Welcome from Ronit Katav

I, Ronit, the school principal, am pleased to present to you the school's vision, values, and strategic plans. We are committed to ensuring that every student graduates with the tools and knowledge necessary for success. 

Our School Vision

• Our mission is to educate and prepare students for a future filled with challenges and changes.

• We see our vision as a guiding compass that helps us develop our students' skills and strengthen their ability to thrive in an ever-changing world.

• Our vision focuses on four core values: Learning, Community, Character, and Leadership.

Our Educational Approach

• We live in a rapidly evolving world, and I believe our role as educators, parents, and students is to journey together toward a better future.

• We will equip our students with the tools and skills necessary to successfully navigate a changing reality.

• To do this, we follow our 'Profile of a Learner,' which defines the values, skills, and qualities we aspire to instill in our students.

• While we honor the legacy of the founders and the history of our school, we recognize that relying on past practices is not enough.

• We must remain open to change and constant improvement to meet the evolving needs of our students.

Strategic Plans and Initiatives

• These values are translated into concrete actions through a structured strategic plan and accreditation process, developed in collaboration with students, parents, and faculty.

• These efforts are designed to offer clear steps towards realizing our vision and achieving our goals.

• Among the initiatives guiding our journey:

  • Inspiring Learning: We strive to empower our students by fostering deep thinking, encouraging innovation, and providing diverse opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning.

  • Strengthening Our Diverse Community: We focus on creating an inclusive learning environment that promotes empathy, cultural sensitivity, and collaboration with local communities to offer authentic learning experiences.

  • Developing Student Leadership: We encourage our students to take initiative, embrace risk-taking, develop communication and collaboration skills, and uphold the values outlined in our 'Profile of a Learner.'

School-Community Partnership

1. 1. I consider close cooperation between students, parents, and faculty to be an essential component of the school's success.

   2. Each group contributes, and together we create a stronger whole.

   3. By working together, we ensure that our students receive the best possible support and education.
