ENGLISH SCHOOL is an educational program that nurtures growth, starting from children as young as two years old and continuing through their development.
Like at an immersive language school, our entire daily routine is conducted in English.
The school was established on the initiative of Einav Goldman, an educational entrepreneur who works to reduce gaps in society.
Head of School's Statement
As a native of the Emek (Valley) region, my childhood dream was to "find in my town 'Afula' everything that could be found in the central region of Israel (the Merkaz)."
At ENGLISH SCHOOL, we aim to bridge social gaps and believe that every child deserves an equal opportunity to experience, progress, and succeed.
My name is Einav Goldman. I hold a B.Ed. in Early Childhood Education and an M.A. in Organizational Sociology. For 15 years, I have been teaching English to young children.
My dream is to see children speaking English naturally without struggling learning it. and so, to enable every child to discover their inherent abilities for naturally acquiring the English language through their daily routine and at the appropriate age.
Today, I am making that dream a reality. Join us to make your dream a reality "a child with English as a second language".
Language is a fascinating, and the process of acquiring it is even more fascinating.
About
Our Vision
Hebrew Roots, English Wings 🕊️
Our vision is to nurture a young generation that is curious, educated, and has a sense of capability to use English and integrate into the global world of the 21st century.
We are looking forward to growing an English community of students coming from diverse backgrounds where one of the main unifying elements is the global way of communication - English language.
By providing an English language-based education from an early age, we aim to bring together children from different cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, united by their shared language of instruction. This diverse environment would not only facilitate English language acquisition but also promote understanding, respect, and appreciation for diversity.
The kindergarten age is a key age for language acquisition known as the "language absorption age." Therefore, daily exposure to English in a natural and supportive kindergarten environment will allow children to acquire a solid foundation in the language.
English as a global language is important and provides access to many more opportunities in education, employment, and life in the future, which is why acquiring it early is crucial.
Our Mission
Our mission is:
-
To nurture a young generation with international horizons, strong communication abilities, and openness to a wide range of people, ideas, communication skills, and self-expression.
-
To shape an environment that will enable the acquisition of the English language as a second language, as a routine, as an essential need.
-
To bridge social gaps and allow children from the periphery to join English-speaking educational frameworks in order to acquire the world's language in the most natural way possible.
The kindergarten provides a solid and natural foundation for creating the child's positive and confident identity with the English language, a place where they feel comfortable with the language, accept it, and embrace it as a natural part of their world and identity.
