School in Israel Feels... Different

Many kids who once thrived in American classrooms feel invisible or confused in Israeli schools. The environment is loud, fast-paced, and often unclear in expectations.

Children may struggle to understand the language, social cues, or teacher expectations β€” even when they seem quiet and cooperative on the surface.

We help you:

  • Understand the unspoken rules of Israeli school life
  • Support your child when they're lost in translation
  • Communicate with homeroom teachers, yoetzot, and staff
  • Rebuild confidence β€” gently, and at your child's pace

Group Support Circles

Sometimes the most healing thing is knowing you're not the only one.

πŸ‘« Kids' Groups

Support for kids adjusting to Israeli school and friendships, using creative tools and shared experiences.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Parent Groups

Navigate cultural, emotional, and family changes with other parents who understand your journey.

🎨 Creative Approach

Small, supportive groups using photography, journaling, and shared reflection for healing.
