The Modern Language Department believes that
languages hold a special status in education;
that fluency in a foreign language and awareness
of other cultures are some of the qualities of a
well educated person. We believe that learning a
language contributes to the whole improvement of
the person, developing many important skills:
listening, personal confidence and communication
skills. Language learning is also an essential
skill and one that increasingly calls for a
commitment to lifelong learning.
Ivrit
Ivrit is taught as a living modern
language. We teach all 4 language skills as
well as teaching about Israel’s geography,
history and culture. We hope to strengthen
our students’ connection to Israel and
instil in them a love of Israel.
Ivrit is one of the most widespread
languages in the world, as more and more
Jews acquire it as their second language. Go
to any Jewish community anywhere in the
world and, if you can speak Ivrit, you’ll be
able to talk to someone—whether the
community is in Paris, Madrid, Budapest,
Moscow, Buenos Aires or Tel Aviv!
