The Modiin Maccabim Reut Education System

Modiin Maccabim Reut Municipality has education at the top of its priorities. The school system offers a varied curriculum – science and technology, arts and sports, starting from the youngest grades.

The Department of Education together with the school system emphasize the strengthening of Jewish-Israeli heritage, identity and culture; promotion of innovation and educational achievements; a wide variety of frameworks and disciplines for the growth and development of all students; social and community programs; and the continuity between formal and informal education.

The Modiin Maccabim Reut Education System highly emphasizes the importance of students not only receiving a high quality High School diploma, but being first and foremost, valued citizens who are committed to society and to the State of Israel.

The education system consists of religious and non-religious schools including a special needs education system. Religious and non-religious schools and pre-schools are located in all neighborhoods of the city.

In the Modiin Maccabim Reut school system of 2019-2020, over 27,000 students ages 3-18 study in 158 pre-school classes (ages 3-5), 27 elementary schools (grades 1-6), 13 high schools (grades 7-12) and 2 special education schools.

New Immigrant and Returning Students
Modiin Maccabim Reut municipal departments in cooperation with government offices, offer a variety of academic, vocational and social programs for immigrant and returning students and parents. School olim coordinators in every school assist both students and parents in the process of integrating into school.

The State Ministry of Education allocates Ulpan and tutoring hours to be taught in school to help new immigrants and returning students acquire and improve their Hebrew language. Immigrants and returning students taking their Bagrut exams (matriculation exams) in high school are entitled to special arrangements defined by the Ministry of Education. Partial tuition subsidies are provided by the Ministry of Education to Olim families through the schools during the first 1-3 years in Israel.
