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 are developed 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, listening 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.
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.
Central to the success of Younited continues to be the practical and financial support of our dedicated local and international advisors.
Younited was opened in 2018 under the leadership of Nurit Gery and Yuval Dvir as an educational incubator to develop ethical leaders for the future — to help move from disharmony to egalitarian societies that operate in peace.
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.
Younited is committed to recruiting and retaining an exceptional faculty and staff who reflect the empathy and kindness that underpins the school’s culture. Our dynamic educators are deeply committed to the entire student experience.

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 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
