About the school

"King David" is an educational institution, a university for children, based on an international, innovative and unique plan. It is part of an international network of schools that will soon be operating in different cities throughout the world. The first school in the network will be established and will operate in the Kfar-Ganim Gimel neighborhood in Petach Tikva in September 2018, and will start with two first-grade classes and two second-grade classes.

The school's team will give your child personalized attention and will be there at every step of their development, escorting the pupils as they grow and progress to further grades.

The school will aim to inspire its pupils with a warm, pleasant and supporting atmosphere. Utilizing our state-of-the-art equipment and labs, we will equip each pupil to succeed in their own unique way.

The school will empower the children and will encourage them to be responsible and independent, all within a safe and relaxed family setting.

"King David" will work hard to impart moral values and educate the children to love ‘Torah with Derech Eretz’.

Targets

Maximizing the potential of every one of our pupils. Promoting significant and quality learning that will lead to educational achievements, self-fulfillment and excellence.

The way to achieve these targets:

  • - Giving a chance to each pupil to succeed in their own unique way.
  • - Inspiring the pupils, encouraging enthusiasm, curiosity and the joy to explore and study.
  • - Assisting the pupils to develop analytical thinking and decision-making skills.
  • - Teaching practical knowledge through experiential education.
  • - Instilling in students positive self-image, openness, sensitivity and responsibility, towards themselves and toward the community.

The Educational Model

The "King David" School has a harmonious educational model that will combine Torah education at the highest level with quality general education, giving your child the necessary tools to deal with whatever life brings them. Another model the educational system is based upon is "personal coaching". We not only assist in studies, but we also provide each pupil with guidance and the tools necessary to define and achieve personal goals, overcome obstacles, and maintain motivation while increasing self-confidence, self-awareness and faith in personal ability to succeed. Our educational model will emphasize the creation of a challenging, experience-led atmosphere that encourages curiosity and thinking.

Only 36 carefully selected pupils will learn at the school, like the Talmud’s "36 righteous ones". In every class there will be only nine pupils, ensuring personal attention to each pupil. As part of our educational model, we will encourage our pupils with the Jewish values of Mitzvot, charity, loving-kindness, volunteering and helping others.

The teachers

Our team of teachers will be chosen with great care and will be qualified to lead the next school year, expanding the curriculum to include progressive technologies, with the participation of "Google Israel" and the "ORT" network.

The Curriculum

Our curriculum, approved by the Israeli Ministry of Education, was carefully planned to suit the developmental stages of every age. The curriculum include studies in Hebrew, English, Mathematics, Torah, Talmud, Halacha and Mussar.

We will provide enrichment classes, such as music, technology, science, art, gymnastics, painting, cooking, computers and swimming. We already begin teaching English, for example, from first grade, using a variety of methods, including exercises and experience-led activities that will assist in the assimilation of the material.

Nutrition and proper eating habits

Studies clearly show that a child's life can be changed by nutrition, and that healthy nutrition extends life expectancy and immeasurably improves its quality. "King David" is based on a healthy lifestyle and proper eating habits. We will supply healthy organic meals (under Badatz supervision) twice daily.

In addition, a light snack will be served in the afternoons. The meals will contain important nutrients for healthy growth and development: Proteins, vegetables, fruits and grains. The vast majority of the food will be organic, i.e. grown naturally, without chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, medicines, hormones, genetic engineering, preservatives or food colorings.
