Beit Hinuch (Hebrew: בית חינוך is a High school in the German Colony neighbourhood in Jerusalem.
History
Beit Hinuch was founded in 1939. It was the third Hebrew school - Ironi Gimmel - to be established in Jerusalem in modern times (after Evelina de Rothschild School - Ironi Aleph, 1st Municipal High School, and Gymnasia Rehavia - Ironi Bet, 2nd Municipal High School).
The school was founded by the Histadrut. In 1959, the operation of the school was taken over by the Municipality of Jerusalem. It was originally located on Mesilat Yesharim street, near the city center. In the 1960s, as the number of students grew, the school moved to a new location on Kaf-Tet beNovember street, in Jerusalem's Katamon neighbourhood.[1]
In 1987 the school underwent a major renovation project with the help of the Jerusalem Foundation, carrying out facade and landscaping improvements, creating a technology center, computer laboratory and vocational workshops. In 2004, again with the help of the Jerusalem foundation, the school upgraded the computer infrastructure and supported curriculum development and an after school learning center.[2]
In 1994, the New York Times characterized the students of Beit Hinuch as "a mixture of rich and poor, secular and traditionally religious, European and North African, open-minded and insular, outgoing and defensive."[3]
In 2006, the school initiated a project called "Fairness in Sports" using sports heroes to teach good values.[4]
Since 2020, the School Principal has been Ayelet Golomb-Planer, a former lawyer.[5]
In 2021 the school moved to a new location, in Emek Refaim street in the German Colony neighbourhood of Jerusalem, switching places with the Antroposophic school "Adam".[6] Mayor of Jerusalem Moshe Lion and deputy mayor Hagit Moshe attended the inauguration ceremony in the school.
Awards and recognition
The school has won awards for excellence from the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Jerusalem Municipality.[7]
In 2022 the school won the Excellent School award granted by the Ministry of Education of Israel.[7]
