For the seventh consecutive year, AMIT has been ranked as the No. 1 educational network by Israel’s Ministry of Education.
This achievement is the result of AMIT’s daily commitment, educational vision, strategic leadership and a deep belief in the potential of every student, especially in Israel’s social and geographic periphery.
The ministry uses “Educational Picture,” an evaluation tool it developed to help local governments choose the right network to partner with its schools.
The tool factors fall into four key clusters:
- Learning and achievement: Bagrut (“matriculation”) eligibility and academic excellence
- Values and school climate: Student growth, sense of belonging and emotional safety
- Student retention and dropout rates: Student engagement and graduation rate
- Israel Defense Forces enlistment rates: Civic responsibility and contribution to Israeli society
This tool doesn’t just assess how students are performing; it reveals who they’re becoming and how schools are shaping the next generation of citizens and leaders.
AMIT president Shari Safra said, “We are proud to be recognized for our success in educating the whole child, and lifting up those in Israel’s periphery, setting them on a path for opportunity and growth.”
This run of recognition reflects the entity’s ability to blend academic excellence with deep-rooted values, coupled with a warm and inclusive environment. AMIT director general Amnon Eldar credited the dedicated teachers and principals who invest their heart and soul into their students.
“We are committed to providing our students with the tools they need for success. We invest heavily in the development of our principals and teachers, so they can empower students’ strengths to give them a sense of achievement,” said Eldar.
AMIT enables Israel’s youth to realize their potential and strengthens society by educating and nurturing children from diverse backgrounds within a framework of academia, Jewish values and Zionist ideals.
Each of the 40,000 students in its vast network of 88 schools benefits from individual attention, which sparks their personal growth.
Sahar Sigawi, head of the excellence division at AMIT explained that “AMIT’s advanced data systems help create a personalized approach for each student to detect difficulties early, strengthen them from a young age and motivate them toward excellence. Along the way, our community of teachers is constantly evolving and learning, with significant support from network headquarters.”
Shuli Yost, who leads TATZAM, AMIT’s personal and professional growth program, highlighted AMIT’s revolutionary mentor system. “One mentor is assigned for every 15 students to guide them as they discover their strengths, set goals and, ultimately, achieve them, so they succeed both personally and academically,” said Yost.
AMIT is continuing its path of innovation and progress with its new Gabel & Straus Family Campus at AMIT Kfar Batya, advancing its proven pedagogical approach and continuing to inspire its students to a future of purpose, passion and possibility.
