At a time when world tensions run high and few solutions seem at hand, Givat Haviva International School (GHIS) rises to this challenge with its unique approach to developing future community leaders.
Our students learn to see past stereotypes and historical narratives. Rather, they learn to value diversity and respect each othersā opinions and perspectives. They learn to trust, not to fear.
A new generation dedicated to respect and kindness rather than divisiveness - they return home as peacemakers.
Goals:
1. To build a network of young leaders who learn the skills to work together towards a more peaceful and just future in Israel and in the world.
2. To develop ambassadors for diversity and social rights
3. To give opportunities for future leaders to receive top class education, including those coming from under privileged backgrounds who could never afford such an opportunity
