Tel Aviv - School Report Question and Answers
How would you rate the school's support and welcome/integration of new students and their families, and why?
It's the first time I've moved somewhere without the children actually being admitted before arrival. They take an entrance test and then are subject to an interview. - Aug 2016
B - Jan 2016
C: If you're 'in', then you get some latitude and can seek ways to build comfort and support structures. The MS has a new student camping trip (new students are paired with 'buddy' existing students, thus helping the new students take the edge off of the transition). The ES doesn't offer anything tangible. - Jul 2014
none - Feb 2013
CWBAIS is closed in the summer.Good luck getting all the paperwork sorted out. THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL, IF YOUR CHILDREN PASS their "mandatory entrance tests", you will be welcomed into the community with open arms.If not, that's not their problem, now is it?(testing cannot be done prior to arrival)IS IT WORTH THE RISK??? The alternatives are really only boarding school or home school or drive an hour+ each way to the J-AIS in JerusalemThe PTA is active and hospitable.They provide a wealth of information and many opportunities to become a part of the WBAIS community. - Sep 2012
A for student support, not much for families - Jul 2011
