Located near Haifa, outside Kiryat Tivon, Ramat Hadassah Szold currently has 225 pupils aged 12-18, of whom around half are Israeli-born, and half are immigrants, mostly from the FSU and Ethiopia.
The cornerstones of the three to six-year program are language skills, numeric and cognitive thought. In addition to classroom work, students receive tuition in small groups. Formal teaching is supplemented by a range of extra-curricular activities designed to build self-confidence and self-esteem, including arts and crafts and work on the animal farm.
