The Hebrew Reali School of Haifa (Hebrew: בֵּית־הַסֵּפֶר הָרֵיאָלִי הָעִבְרִי בְחֵיפָה, romanized: Bet ha-sefer ha-Reali ha‘Ivri be-Ḥeifa), located in Haifa, Israel, is one of the country's oldest private schools.[2]

History

The Reali school was established by

Technion in 1913, before the outbreak of World War I.[3] The historical building near the old Technion was designed by German-Jewish architect Alexander Baerwald
.

The fundamental values of the school are

Scouts troop, the 'Carmel Wanderers' (Hebrew: מְשׁוֹטְטֵי כַרְמֶל; Meshotetei Carmel), and in 1924 the school opened a humanities major, in addition to the previously offered science major. At the very same year the schools motto was determined: "And Walk Humbly" (Hebrew: וְהַצְנֵ֥עַ לֶ֖כֶת; vehatzna‘ lechet) (Micha, 6:8
). This motto expresses the school's aspirations in the realm of education.

Between the years 1940-1948, given World War II and the strive towards establishing the country, the students took classes in shifts and the graduates joined the 'service year' (Hebrew: שְׁנַת שֵׁרוּת; shnat sherut).

In January 2014 Ron Kitrey retired and Dr. Yosi Ben-Dov replaced him as the school's headmaster.

Branches

Today the school has seven branches: 8 kindergartens; 3 elementary schools named after their neighbourhoods: Yesod Hadar; Yesod Ahuza and Yesod Merkaz; 3 middle schools: Tichon Hadar; Tichon Ahuza; Tichon Merkaz; and one high school: Beit Biram. In 1953, a military boarding school was established in proximity to Beit Biram.

In September 2008, the school opened its latest branch, the "Reali-gan" (kindergarten). The kindergarten advocates

Energy saving and Nature protection
.

In 2017 the military boarding school (Hebrew: הַפְּנִימִיָּה הַצְּבָאִית לְפִקּוּד; HaPnimiya haTzva’it leFikud) became an integrated part of the school.[citation needed].
