is made of three tiers:
Primary Education, Grades 1-6
Middle School, Grades 7-9
High School, Grades 10-12
Compulsory education takes place from
kindergarten through 12th grade.

3. Types of schools in Israel:
To fit the demands of its diverse population, Israel offers four
types of schools: state secular schools, state religious schools
(Yeshiva), Arab schools, and private schools

4. Types of schools in Israel:
State secular schools teach a standard curriculum.
This includes history, mathematics, languages, science, and
literature. These schools emphasise focus and rigour in study.
Many state secular schools specifically design their programs to
prepare students for bagrut examinations for university.

5. Types of schools in Israel:
Yeshiva schools have a similar curriculum to state secular
schools, but they supplement education with studying the Torah.
Torah study is the study of the Torah, Hebrew Bible, Talmud, responsa, rabbinic
literature and similar works, all of which are Judaism's religious texts. According to
Rabbinic Judaism, the study is ideally done for the purpose of the mitzvah
("commandment") of Torah study itself.

6. Types of schools in Israel:
Arab schools teach students in Arabic and supplement Israeli
education with Arabic history. Arab schools are known to have
strict rules, and instructors have absolute authority in the
classroom. Although the Ministry of Education tries to provide
high quality education for all students, Arab schools receive
fewer government funds than other schools.

7. Types of schools in Israel:
Private schools include boarding schools and international
schools. Depending on the school, instructors may teach in
English.

Comprehensive Education System of Israel
Most hours of the school day are devoted to
compulsory academic studies. While the subject
matter to be covered is uniform throughout the
system, each school may choose from a wide
range of study units and teaching materials,
provided by the Ministry of Education, which best
suit the needs of its faculty and pupil population.
With the aim of enhancing pupils' understanding
of their society, each year a special topic of
national importance is studied in depth. Themes
have included democratic values, the Hebrew
language, immigration, Jerusalem, peace, and
industry.

years of basic education to provide sufficient
time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop

are taught, with a focus on "oral fluency".
In Grade 4, the subject areas of English and Filipino
are gradually introduced, but now, as "languages

modified to use the spiral progression approach
starting as early as Grade 1 which means that every
lesson will be taught in every grade level starting
with the basic concepts to the more complex
concepts of that same lesson
