The Children the System Gives Up On — We Don't

Children with learning disabilities, autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation. Children who, in the standard Israeli secular system, are simply expelled. With us, they have learning specialists, smaller classes, and a Rebbi who knows their name and their story.

The promise

No Child Is Untouchable

Every Chinuch Atzmai mainstream school has a kitah-katana — a small classroom of 8 to 12 children with full-time learning specialists, occupational therapists, and reduced-content curricula. We never tell a parent he is not a fit for our school.

The kids who are hardest to teach are also the ones for whom Torah, when they finally taste it, lands the deepest. Many of our most successful alumni today were children we could have turned away — and didn't.
