Most of our inner students arrive at Beit Mazor with a considerable learning gap and feelings of failure that harm their self-images, their beliefs about their chances to a life of other meaning from their families of origin.

Acquiring education influences the economic and social situation, the future integration of the labor market, and the breaking of the cycle of poverty. Our commitment, all child caregivers in the foreign-domestic arrangements commitment is to change children situation from at risk to a positive change. The right for education has been recognized as one of the basic rights of a person and is enshrined in announcements and various conventions of the UN. In the State comptroller`s report from 2016, he writes, "the students of the boarding school come with a significant learning gap and do not receive a satisfactory study that can bridge the gaps and bring them to a leaping line similar to that of other students in school.” In order to cope with this familiar problem, we developed in Beit Mazor boarding school a comprehensive model that brings impressive results in the field of study in the past decade.

The Conclusion: Beit Mazor is showing impressive results in the field of studies and educational achievements. 10% with non-regular learning problems. 40% of high school and middle pupils in excellent classrooms. 64% of high school students with academic achievements are very good/excellent and the rest are good – medium. 62% of elementary students with very good grades and the rest are good/medium. (According to the report card of the first half of the year).
