King David Private School
Project under Study
The King David private school is a project intended to expand on an already growing kindergarten
project, “Gan Menachem”. Gan Menachem opened its doors in early 2012 and has been flourishing and expanding ever since. For this reason, we have decided it is absolutely mandatory to expand our educational reach and combine educational experience with spiritual needs.
As the Jewish Community of Cyprus grows, the families face the task of finding premium quality education, with the addition of traditional Jewish values. As there is no such educational facility on the island, most children attend a local private school with the addition of traditional and spiritual Jewish lessons after hours.
The Junior School builds on the incredibly important foundations laid by the Kindergarten experience. In addition to the social-emotional learning that has already occurred, we then add a very strong academic program. The program is underpinned by the latest research on how children learn best. We do not believe in academic trends, but in approaches that have been proven to produce deep understanding and a set of tools to enhance future learning.
The program is based on thinking and creativity. The thinking elements are emphasised through the Philosophy program in which children are taught how to question and analyze. Beyond these skills the students learn how to effectively communicate, develop their curiosity and gain an understanding of the concept of a ‘community of inquiry’. These skills are further developed through the Instrumental Enrichment program and integrated into each subject area. The second theme of creativity is emphasised through English, Mathematics, and the Visual and Performing Arts.
At the very heart of the Junior School is Judaism. It is our calendar, it is our moral guide, and it is our joy. Students leave the Junior School with a firm understanding of Jewish history and customs. More than this they have a profound love of Judaism and a strong Jewish Identity. As students leave the Junior School they should be bold in their inquiries, respectful of all, supportive of their peers, creative in their thinking, and have a firm foundation for future learning. This handbook illustrates the elements of the Junior School program specifically designed to achieve these aims.
We have secured a large property in the Centre of Larnaca to house all of our educational needs:
The premises (area of 4,000 square metres) includes: 15 classrooms, computer lab, physics lab, chemistry lab, biology lab, multipurpose science lab, music room, art room, library with the capacity of 20,000 volumes, amphitheatre with a seating capacity of 250, canteen, cafeteria, futsal court, basketball court, volleyball court, and outdoor heated swimming pool.
There are prospective properties that we have visited and are up for consideration, as well as plots of land that would be ideal to build with all of our requirements.
