Dror Galil High School

Dror Galil High School is the first of its kind in Israel,

aiming to provide its students with the social, moral,
technological and practical tools to succeed in tomorrow’s
world. In innovative classes such as Agroecology and Life-
Improving Technology, the students are faced with real
world problems and use state-of-the-art technology such

Arabs and Druze - and aspires to promote and develop shared society between the diverse
groups living in the area.

Make big things happen

Our students can together lead us into a better future, starting at Dror Galil, where they
can make big things happen and where their personal achievements can enrich the entire
community, society and country.

07
Building a permanent home

Our one-of-a-kind school has been operating out of a temporary space for the past two
years, and we are now ready to take on the challenge of building a permanent home.

Our mission

At Dror Israel, we dream of a brighter

future and we commit our lives to
create it. Our Mission is to educate
and empower young people and
those on the social and geographic
periphery to actively contribute to their
communities and to create a shared
society in Israel.

Through community partnerships,

educational initiatives, Jewish-Arab
youth programs, schools for at-risk
youth, the youth movement, and public
events, we inspire inclusivity, equality,

one's community.
Kibbutz Ravid
Striving to Create a More sustainable Israeli Society
Upholding daily values of coexistence, democracy, and equality

Kibbutz Ravid is one of the flagship kibbutzim of "Dror Israel." Located above
the Sea of Galilee, it serves as a unique educational center. Ravid's campus
houses educators in a young and vibrant community alongside educational
projects. Such projects are a seminar center that can host 30,000 overnights
yearly, a pre-military preparatory program for at-risk youth, educational-
agricultural fields alongside a research and development center, and a
stimulating instructional center that sends educators nationwide, instructs
and writes educational pedagogies for various programs and frameworks,
starting with schools and youth clubs through the police, the IDF, etc.

All programs emphasize a common center for a more sustainable Israeli

society based on Jewish values, coexistence, democracy, and equality.

The Future of Education
In Israel and Abroad

Partnering and leading the process of reformulating the role of

the school in society.

We live in one of the most turbulent times in the history of

the human race. This period is characterized by accelerated
scientific and technological development and far-reaching
social changes. In the next two decades, the world of work and
education faces tremendous changes.

016
"One-third of the world’s
1.8 billion young people are
currently neither in employment,
education or training. Of the
one billion more youth that will
enter the job market in the next
decade, only 40 percent are
expected to be able to get jobs
that currently exist."
The World Bank's report for October 2015

017
The role of school education

These changes have far-reaching implications for

the nature and structure of society, as well as its
geopolitical, psychological and moral aspects.

This complex reality raises fundamental questions

about the role of education, and the school
institution itself, in three fundamental aspects:

018
Building a world of knowledge and
learning skills
What can and should be the role of the school in
building a world of knowledge in a reality where
it is accessible to all? How to formulate tools
to find and filter existing knowledge? What is its
role in building new knowledge?

Training for the technology-driven

world of employment
What training will be needed to enter the
employment world, in a reality where areas of
activities develop, change and disappear within
a few years? What are the human qualifications
and the personal and social skills necessary
to integrate into the employment world of the
future?

Building society and addressing ethical

and moral issues
How to develop social skills and formulate moral
perception and ethical standards in a reality of
accelerated social change, undermined moral
values and profound moral challenges? What
is the role of the school institution in creating
real experiences, healthy social codes and
confronting ethical and moral issues?
Reestablish school role in society
These and other questions require the school institution
to reestablish its place and role in society and develop an
innovative educational approach to address the challenges
of education in the 21st century. The Dror Galil High
School took upon itself to cope with these challenges and
develop a school model to serve as a living and relevant
example of the reality in which young people are growing
in our time, creating an original connection that combines
advanced professional training and future-oriented
thinking, developed social thinking and value education.

You are invited to join us, to shape together the future of

the education system and prepare today's generation to
face the complex and fascinating life of tomorrow; this is
our task and mission.

School Curriculum
Preparing the Youth for the Challenges of the Future
Striving to improve the quality of life using mobile and smart devices

Dror Galil High School is the only school that provides in the State of Israel this
prestigious diploma in two special subjects:

Technology Track in Agro-Ecology and Agro-

Life-Enhancing Products Tech Study Track

022
023
024
The Technology Track in Life-Enhancing Products

Namely, development of life-enhancing technological

solutions that are mobile and available to all. In an era
where technological innovations enable large-scale
life-enhancement and life-saving techniques, a young
generation of social leaders must be trained. Entrepreneurs
at heart, with the knowledge of how to use the advanced
technologies of digital production to identify major social
problems and challenges, and develop products and
technologies to benefit the lives of tens and hundreds
of thousands of people utilizing mobile and smart
devices. The students studying in this track use advanced
technologies of 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC, computing
and electronics. T hrough these technologies, they develop
and manufacture cheap, usable and accessible solutions.
This is a new study track developed in cooperation with
the Vocational Training Division.

025
026
The Agro-Ecology and Agro-Tech Study Track

In a world with shrinking green areas, land and water resources

at risk, and the need for high-quality food steadily increasing,
it is necessary to find diverse and revolutionary solutions to
successfully combine the needs of human beings with a
sustainable environmental and ecological vision. Agriculture
is connected to all aspects of our existence - food, raw
materials for textiles and clothing, wood for construction,
raw materials for drugs and medicine, renewable energy,
and more. Agro-Ecology and Agro-Tech tracks are leaders in
agro-ecology research and the development of technologies,
in work techniques and economic models that meet the
challenges of Israeli and global agriculture, as well as in
training the next generation of ecological farmers. The track
constitutes a study and research hub in cooperation with the
Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Labor, research and
development bodies, academic institutions and commercial
companies, aspiring to engage the real challenges of the
Galilee and Land of Israel farmers.

027
Future Training Study Tracks and Courses

As our school grows, we plan to open new study tracks and

additional innovative professional training courses in the
areas of:
• Green and forward-thinking construction
• Renewable energy
• New media
• and more..

We are in the process of developing these courses with

the Israeli Ministry of Labor's Vocational Training Division,
to transform them into future professions recognized by
the economy. The professional certificates we provide are
recognized by OECD countries as diplomas attesting to
professional training.

Dror Galil is Israel's leading school in the development of

innovative and advanced vocational training courses.

Students speak About Dror Galil
More than anything, the testimonies endorse our success story

We asked some of our students the following question: Name 2-3 things that,
in your opinion, you consider special in Dror Galil's social sphere? These are
the delightful answers we received:

"Teachers encourage students to step out of their comfort

zone and meet other people!"

"I dream of having the ability to build anything i can imagine!"

030
 "A limited framework where everyone knows everyone;
people with a variety of interests, some of which are
shared by other people."

"I hope that my experience in different type of soil will help

provide better and healthier food around the world"

"You can be yourself and be accepted by the social

circle."

"In my opinion, because you find all types of groups and

friendships of all ages and from all classes at the school,
it makes it more interesting; you don't have this in other
schools. The school staff emphasizes the social aspect,
which means it's important to them; you can see this when
they hold seminars, take us on trips, bring classes together
to forge team spirit, etc."
031
Educators speak About Dror Galil

"I teach at Dror Galil because it's a different educational experience,

and I truly believe that it is a qualitative alternative. Dror Galil has
many special things: focus on the students, a personal approach, and
open cooperation. Dror Galil provides a professional and enriching
work environment, a place to develop one's self. "

experience. This school is unique due to its amazing educational
team, and its attempt to merge the professional and the social world.
Dror Galil gives me a sense of meaning and has opened a new world
of contents of which I was unaware."
Neta

" Being part of Dror Galil is to be part of a team! A group that meets with
groups of students to study take trips, eat, learn and enjoy together."
Yossi

032
"I teach at Dror Galil because I believe in its vision and in the steps
we are taking to realize it. What I consider unique at this school is
that we see the student as a whole person and try to understand and
accept all aspects of his life - not just the time he/she is at school. As
a teacher, I believe that teamwork, support, the ability to seek advice
and take joint responsibility for the work undertaken, brings out the
best in me."
Orna

"I teach at Dror Galil to meet with the girls and boys and learn with
them. I believe that it is possible to create a meeting place that is
not based on intimidation and competition, but togetherness and
enjoyment."
Ahi

"I teach at Dror Galil because I am looking for a meaningful place to

meet with teenagers and educators to be my partners in realizing our
dreams - and I found this at Dror Galil. Dror Galil is special in that
it brings together people, young and old, from all over the Galilee;
together we try to learn about ourselves, our environment and the
world. Dror Galil gives me a place to meet with wonderful friends who
are also my teammates, in a rich and challenging educational world."

Innovative Architecture
in the Service of Pedagogy
Innovative architectural planning to create an atmosphere of study
that empowers and stimulates

The architectural plan of Dror Galil's permanent structure was designed with
comprehensive reference to the school's innovative pedagogy. The structure
was designed to advance innovative and flexible modes of learning and
enable significant modularity in modes of teaching.

036
037
038
In the current construction phase, we will build four
classrooms, open space study, a central meeting hall,
a place for assemblies and presentation of project
products, as well as workspaces for the educational
staff and offices.
To create a structure promoting an empowering and
stimulating atmosphere of study, a state-of-the-art and
homelike structure has been designed that enables
flexible study in a variety of spaces. The structure
combines human warmth, advanced technology,
multifaceted thinking, and ecological planning to invite
creativity and activity. The building was designed to
serve as a meeting place for groups, people, dreams,
activity, and learning; a place that can always evolve
and adapt itself to the dreams of our students and
educators.
Above all, this is a public-school building intended for
everyone and anyone who wishes to come and study.
The building is divided into two houses, or "homes."
Each "home" includes two classrooms, study and
meeting areas, an inner courtyard, a kitchenette, and a
service area, with the facilities providing the space to
best fit the needs of students and teachers.
The structure enables innovative learning processes
connecting the head and hands and creating a holistic
learning approach based on real work combining
research and development of real solutions and
products using advanced technologies.
