Providing an Outstanding Educational Experience

Younited School in northern Israel is a coed boarding high school that brings together promising young students from diverse communities and varying economic backgrounds. Over three years they develop as leaders for cross-cultural cooperation and conflict resolution through a unique approach blending academic excellence with emotional intelligence.

Students aged 15 to 18 live and study together in a respectful community where their individual backgrounds and personal stories are truly valued. In this environment, they form enduring friendships that cross divides and connect communities. Younited teaches the two-year IBDP, as well as a boarding-optional 10th grade class for Arab and  Jewish students from Israel, with a rigorous pre-IB academic education.

Building Younited

Younited was founded by the Havatzelet Group In 2018, as part of Givat Haviva – a non-profit organization working to promote shared society education. It was founded under the leadership of the former Givat Haviva Executive Director, Yaniv Sagee. 

Our Diverse Faculty and Staff

Leading Younited is a team of experienced and empathetic academics, administrators and staff committed to supporting the school’s mission to prepare and inspire students to bring about positive change in the world. The aim is for them to mirror the diversity of the student population, becoming role models. They are passionate about helping every student maximize their learning and development both inside and outside the classroom.
