YAVNEH GIRLS
Yavneh Girls Newsletter
Yavneh is the exclusive educational unit developed by the school, which provides a modern orthodox education at secondary level.
Yavneh adopts the approach of Torah im Derech Eretz as its guiding principle. It encourages a commitment to and an appreciation of Judaism and its values. The teaching of Torah, Derech, Eretz, good Midot, Jewish learning, Halacha and Ivrit, together with the centrality of the State of Israel is its principal aim. Pupils can choose whether they attend Yavneh or the Main School and they are free to move between the units at any time. |
"...The atmosphere in Yavneh is one of exceptional co-operation, purpose and joy..." (Ofsted)
The pursuit of excellence is a primary objective of this prestigious unit. The standards of the secular curriculum and the Jewish studies programmes are designed to enable pupils, on graduation, to enter the very best seminaries and universities.
A Yavneh graduate will be 'at home' in the world of Jewish learning and observance, and equally 'at home' in Cambridge, Oxford or any of the other centers of academic excellence. A Yavneh graduate is 'at home' in two worlds.
In addition to academic achievement, there is a strong emphasis on the development of good character. Pupils are encouraged to show concern for others both within and outside the school.
