Getting Up to Speed in English

Since all IB classes are in English, it is imperative that we help our students from non-English-speaking countries raise their language competency as quickly as possible.  One exciting way that we will do this with our 10th grade class is through a wonderful group of volunteers in Santa Barbara, California. These volunteers will be personal […]

Welcoming Our First Class of 10th Graders

Diving Right in at the Ma’Anit Pool

In May, our students visited the nearby Ma’Anit pool for the first time in a very long time to celebrate the arrival of the hot Israeli summer.

GHIS Art Exhibition: Expressing Our Cultural Diversity

Our student artists created an art exhibit in the Givat Haviva Art Center.

The works reflected their diverse world views and personal experiences. The students shared artwork that visually […]

Friendly Competition on the Basketball Court

GHIS students and teachers competed against one another in a friendly basketball game. It was a great opportunity to engage in a physical activity together, rather than the mental exercises we generally practice in the classroom.

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.
