They say it best.
“Herzlia is like a big family. I’ll always remember the fun we’ve had and the memories we’ve made. It’s a space of opportunity. I love the camps, the outings and all the learning outside of the classroom. I love learning about Israel and the history of Judaism. I love having access to a wide range of sports, clubs and societies. I love being part of this beautiful community. ”
“I’ve been in the Herzlia system for over 50 uninterrupted years! From Alon Ashel to Weizmann and Middle School; and now as a father, the countless lessons and experiences I can impart onto my children is a blessing. Herzlia’s education is outstanding, but what makes it extraordinary is knowing that my children are part of a larger family where they’re nurtured, encouraged and empowered by teachers who treat them as their own. ”
“It was a privilege and honour to be a pupil and then to have worked at this unique school. It’s literally been full circle! Throughout my career, I woke each day feeling blessed to be able to teach children and shape young lives. I thank parents for trusting me with their children and allowing me to educate them. I thank my Herzlia colleagues for being my friends and family. Even though I’m no longer working at the school, it still has a space in my heart. ”
