Ma'ayanot School, Avnei Eitan

Who We Are

Ma'ayanot – Rooted Jewish education in the spirit of Waldorf (Anthroposophic) education

Educational Concept

As a religious Anthroposophic house of education, we aim to listen and adapt the curriculum to the child's development and to renewal in Torah and prayer as the center of the day from a connection to the heart. The learning is deep and multidisciplinary. Learning is done in study blocks - where the same field of knowledge is studied day after day - which allows for meaningful and profound learning. Great significance is given to going out into nature, knowing and loving the land.

Core Values

Education for Love of Torah and Devotion to Hashem – The Torah lesson is the core lesson opening the school day, combining experiential and multidisciplinary learning that touches the heart.
A Curriculum Derived from Child Development - tailoring spiritual, emotional, academic, and physical nourishment to each developmental stage.
Holistic, Multidisciplinary, and Creative Education - enabling expression for a wide range of qualities: manual labor, crafts, painting, music, and stepping out into open spaces enabling an encounter with the heart.
