Education as a Reflection
of the City
Tel Aviv-Yafo, There’s Nothing Like It in the World
Nature, heritage, arts, architecture and, most of all, a variety of cultures, religions and voices
Come and see how the city becomes a classroom and education as a whole is a reflection of the city
Let's get started…
The beach, the sandstone, or watching a performance in Independence Garden? The gems of the city’s culture and heritage are intertwined in the daily life of the Ben Yehuda Kindergarten Campus 
– which in the distant past housed Levinsky Teachers College. Today, it is a warm home for about 320 children in 10 regular kindergarten classes and a special education kindergarten class.
At the Tchernikovsky Kindergarten Campus, located in downtown Tel Aviv, each new day is an opportunity. Whether visiting the cultural institutions in the area or saying hello to those who come to the LGBTQ Center. Join us and enjoy a typical Tel Aviv day with us.
At Ironi Heh high school, which is located near Tel Aviv Port, doing assignments in the sea, measuring currents and sailing are routine and part of a unique marine and environmental sciences track. But not only that. Robotics and entrepreneurship studies are also in the school’s DNA. That’s how it is in the big city.
Not far from there, the children who attend Graetz go outdoors to explore the neighborhood. Together, they identify words and signs, discuss road safety rules and play games. There are 22 classes in the school, four of which are for gifted students. There is an active school community and together with the staff its members build a unique brand of social involvement. You’re welcome to have an open discussion with the students, the teachers and the parents, who will tell you about the processes taking place at the school.
A girls’ soccer team? Signs at the entrance written in gender-inclusive language? It’s not only the way we write things, but also how we express ourselves on a daily basis. The school’s staff talk about gender differences with the children starting at an early age. Gender equality is promoted both pedagogically and socially. Come and visit us at Bavli Yerushalmi.
Gender-sensitive education seeks to impart tools to students that will enable them to critically read the gender reality, replace commonly-held views with egalitarian views, and allow boys and girls to fulfill themselves without facing barriers of any kind. Come and see it in practice, also at the nearby high school.

At Lady Davis Tel Aviv Multidisciplinary High School, there is a gender studies track that is unique even in national terms. It includes gender equality education and cultural sensitivity that are taught in five main subjects: sociology, art, communications, law and literature.
What would you do if you had a white wall? And how do you dive into learning on a yellow submarine? At Hayovel, every question is an opportunity for creative thinking because trailblazing doesn’t end with pedagogy. It is also found in action. One of the school’s educational principles is to live the place and connect with the city’s urban spirit and messages. Come and be part of the formative process of searching for and finding messages that convey empowerment and active learning, combined with dialog and creativity.
Bar Ilan Yeshiva for the Arts and Sciences is an Orthodox Jewish high school located in the middle of Rothschild Boulevard, which has a diverse student body and faculty. The students are taught a variety of subjects, with the focus being on the arts. Some of the students and faculty members do not belong to a religious community and the resulting diversity creates fascinating encounters, novel works of art and original pedagogical ideas.
