ARIEL is located in the "Neveh David" neighborhood in the northern side of Ramla. Our pupils arrive from distant areas, mostly from families who consider themselves "traditional". Our school is considered to be constantly developing, integrating within it religious subjects such as:

  • Stories of the righteous
  • Daily Halacha ( Jewish law )
  • Memorizing MISHNA portions
  • Weekly portion ( Parshat Shavua ) worksheets on weekends
  • Personal commitment - In local homes of the elderly
  • Research on a rabbinical "Figure of the month"
  • Integrating mathematics in judaism and other scientific subjects

  • Reinforcing science lessons in all classes
  • Constructing research centers for all classes
  • Research center activities with guidance and supervision of senior pupils
  • Integrating science in the field-trip program - Visiting science museums
  • Mathematical cogitation
  • Integrating computers in the learning program

In 1998 the school recieved 15 computers installed with MS Office '97,
Color Printers, scanners, speakers, headphones and microphones. These units
were placed in the schools bomb shelter that also serves as our "Computer lab".
ARIELs uniqueness is in the integration of religious TORAH studies together
with secular scientific fields.

The schools internal program concentrates on several fields such as:
A learning environment through research and knowledge enrichment centers,
fostering weak population as well as supreme, integrating computers in the
teaching process to enrich learning, cultivating the environment both inside
and outside the school.

In educating our pupils we concentrate on values regarding human relations,
("Ben Adam LaChavero"). This includes love for the other, contributing to
society, patience, tolerance, while honesty leads the way.

The pupils are also taught values regarding "Man and his creator" ("Ben Adam
LaMakom"), such as performing commandments through love for God and the Torah,
In-depth study of holy subjects and implementing the knowledge to every day life
according to jewish law ("Halacha").

Our pupils study secular, scientific and technological subjects such as communication,
computers e.t.c on a high level but with a constant relation to faith in God
in the sense of "Ma Rabu MaAsecha Hashem" ("Behold, how great are your doings O' Lord").
This way we supply them with appropriate tools fit for confronting and integrating
with a developing, progressive society.

Our pupils shall feel a connection to the Hebrew nation and the holy land,
Will regard Israel as a permanent home and will contribute their part in any
field regarding nation and home-land while constantly keeping the religious
spirit and fulfillment of commandments.
