Finding the right school as an expat can genuinely make or break your child’s academic experience. Most schools in Israel either teach in Hebrew or Arabic. However, there are a few schools throughout the country that do provide instruction in the English language. If you’re looking for English schools in Israel – whether it’s an elementary school, middle school or junior high, or high school experience, I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of those institutes. These are all full-time programs whose primary language of instruction is English, whether American or British. If I missed one, let me know in the comments section below!

Is it possible to have a genuinely pluralistic and integrated school that addresses the local dynamic while providing quality education? Absolutely! Givat Haviva fosters a Shared Society environment, where the students are intentionally made up of equal parts Palestinian, Israel, and international backgrounds. One of the best things about this school is that they openly state that no qualified, admitted student will be turned away due to an inability to pay for tuition. They actively seek donations to cover the expenses of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
