Who We Are

Golan – Looking at the Whole

Golan House of Education is located in the settlement of Hispin and serves as a home for all children of the religious settlements in the Golan and even for children from many families living in secular settlements who are interested in state-religious education. The House of Education has eight special education classes and over 650 children study there.

Educational Concept

At Golan House of Education, a great emphasis is placed on seeing the child as a whole, encompassing a variety of abilities, strengths, complexities, and coping mechanisms. Our educational actions provide a response to children as individuals, but while learning and professionalizing in inclusion practices that allow each of the children to be part of the peer group.

In the House of Education, a meaningful and continuous dialogue takes place between all its parts: educational staff, parents, and children, in order to enable the progress and growth of the educational endeavor.

Core Values

Independent Learners - All children will be independent learners belonging to the classroom learning circle.
Learning happens from within and we must uncover it to generate it, as every piece of new knowledge is organized within the child through prior knowledge.
The general framework of knowledge enables the understanding of its details. Because when there is no understanding, there is an experience of frustration (I can't succeed), impairment of self-worth (I am inadequate), and despair (I won't succeed).
When we bypass a learning barrier, the bypass creates an inclusive practice that enhances learning for all learners.
Educational practice expressing our uniqueness -
High-quality pedagogy, learning journeys, skills, and strategies.
Inclusion – everyone is included, addressing the individual as part of the complete class.
Wisdom of the heart and cultivating a healthy, natural connection to the sacred.
Emotional and social learning reflected both in the daily timetable in routine learning and in special activities.
