Celebrating our Class of 2026

Celebrating our Class of 2026

Couldn’t be prouder of our 58 remarkable graduates at their recent ceremony — a cohort that joined us just before October 2023 and stayed with us through some of the most difficult years this region has known.
The hall was full — hundreds of guests and seven ambassadors — but what filled the room even more was love and purpose.

From Younited, our graduates are now stepping out into the world and taking our mission with them.

💙 To leading universities: Berkeley, Columbia, Georgetown, King’s College London, NYU, Sciences Po, UBC, UCL, the University of Minnesota, Charles University, and the University of Toronto.
💙 To a year of voluntary service — firefighting, teaching Hebrew in the Negev, supporting children on the autism spectrum.
💙 To compulsory service in roles that matter.

Wherever they go, they carry connection, courage, and purpose with them.

Yaniv Sagee

Chair

For more than seven decades, Givat Haviva has provided educational programs aimed at developing a just, equal, and inclusive society. In 2018, we created GHIS as an educational incubator to develop leaders for the future of our world, the Middle East, and Israel—to help move from competition and struggle between nations to a shared, egalitarian society that operates in peace.

GHIS students study the complexity of global conflicts, the differences, and the similarities between them. They learn that individual identity can exist while accepting the identity of the other, and that conflict can be transcended through greater mutual understanding.

Our school draws on the insights of the IB program and the experience of our students from around the world, and supplements it with conflict resolution knowledge accumulated over more than 70 years in Givat Haviva. With this formula a responsible cohort of young people is being created that will one day lead our shared society.

As CEO of Givat Haviva from 2012-2021, Yaniv was one of Israel’s primary leaders of shared society. In this role he created programs that promote these values and educate as many citizens as possible to the benefits of working together.

David Zehavi

Hebrew Literature
Mentor

David joined GHIS because he was looking for the right educational establishment to develop personally and professionally. As soon as he heard about GHIS, he realized that it suits his values.

“As someone who has always been committed to coexistence in Israel, I see GHIS as a great vehicle to bring young people together in an accepting and non-prejudicial way.”

As well as being a teacher, David is also trained in special needs education at all school levels.

David holds a joint Honors B.Ed.  in Special Education ages 6 to 21, and BA in Literature at Oranim College
