Bilingual Campus Olam Shtekelis
Knowing languages promotes the student’s development and has been proven to improve cognitive skills, furthermore it is an important asset in today’s world.
It is vital to start learning languages in a systematic and consistent way and more importantly at a young age. This is why that the school promotes bilingual learning.
It is our vision, to make our school bilingual, that each student can express himself in English both orally (spoken English) and in writing.
The students will be exposed to English through spoken projects and interdisciplinary activities where students will learn read, write in English and Hebrew in different subjects as well and not just in the English lessons. Students will study and participate in bilingual activities which will help develop their ability to express themselves both in Hebrew and English.
The school has already started the process of becoming a bilingual campus and is intergrading English in many different fields.
It is our strong belief that studying in a bilingual atmosphere will lead to exposing the students to a vast world of knowledge in terms of learning about different cultural values, international communication and mutual respect.
The main principles of a bilingual school:
– Bilingual learning is an integrative part of every lesson.
– Having bilingual conversations, being familiar with common expressions in both languages, including both English and Hebrew in all school ceremonies, “good morning” activities and all other school events.
– The entire school staff is committed to integrate English in their lessons and encourage the students to actively participate, to express themselves in all forms, speaking, writing and reading, both in Hebrew and English.
– Our aim is to provide an atmosphere where students are encouraged to be creative, get curious and learn about the different worlds.
To implement the bilingual program- we have many bilingual projects, daily English broadcasts during the break, English signs and daily English conversations with Masa volunteers from the US.
It is our strong belief that languages build bridges between people and helps creating a joint and better future.
