Tel Aviv - School Report Question and Answers
Describe the general climate of the grade level that you teach or your child attends:
If your child is 'normal', the s/he will fit right in. The school has virtually no resources -- much less desire -- to support gifted students or those that require additional support, i.e. learning disabilities. The ES program is substandard in almost every aspect. It boils down to glorified day-care. Kids clearly don't come home stimulated and inspired. The quality of the 'home-work' is equally disappointing inasmuch as it doesn't appear to connect to any learning process. The MS program is marginally better, but you will experience this 'improvement' only if your child is lucky enough to be taught by some of the teachers that are truly dedicated to teaching and academics. - Jul 2014
there are many problems in the ES and the school overall.the superintendent is a huge problem and the ES principal has been there for many years, but 2012 was his last year.there is climate of bullying and there is virtually no science program at the ES levels.The math program has undergone many changes and the teachers are not equipped to teach it.In short, if math and science are important to you at a young age, this is not the right school for you. - Feb 2013
The climate is positive--nerds are cool, bullying is highly discouraged, and the emphasis is definitely on excelling and becoming responsible - Sep 2012
