ORT Netanya Residential Educational Campus – Educational Institute and Sports Academy
The ORT Netanya Residential Educational Campus was founded in 1968 by the Society for Advancement of Education in Jerusalem and ORT Israel. The boarding school is in the heart of the green, spacious ORT Yad Levovich Educational Village in Netanya.
At the ORT Netanya Residential Educational Campus, we see each student as a whole world in themselves and believe that personal accompaniment and support is the key to strengthening feelings of personal capability and aspirations for excellence.
The school encourages students to participate in different fields of sport and offers professional tools in a flexible environment adapted to each child. The atmosphere is family-like, warm and pleasant, and the students are accompanied by a professional, dedicated counseling staff who provide personal attention to every student.
