Class is in session!

As Primary School students returned from break, they were delighted to reunite with their friends and excited to continue learning— even if it meant more homework. The children of grade 4, who had begun learning English just last semester, geared up for another semester of studying what is to be their third— or, for some of them, their fourth— language.
The bilingual school movement is growing! According to a Knesset study, the number of students studying at multicultural and bilingual schools— or joint schools, as the study calls them— has risen 60% over the past five years. As the first and longest-running school of its kind, the Primary School has served as an example to others— and if these latest numbers are any indication, it’s been a successful one!
The Primary School’s first international conference, the capstone of a series of events designed to bring together the parents and families of students, is well underway. These get-togethers connected families that otherwise may never have interacted with each other, foster the type of community and communication that can thrive long after the Primary School students have gradated. Many parents and guardians will be presenting their experiences at the conference— but participants know that these speakers and presenters represent only a fraction of the parents whose lives have been changed by the Primary School and the connections they’ve made through their children.
Bilingual/multicultural curriculum and parent education cost money. The cost of ignorance is a lot higher. Let’s build a future with the teachers and families of the Primary School— one that we can all celebrate.
