Feuerstein Special Education School
Believing in Ability
The Feuerstein School is a warm and caring educational environment for students aged 7-21, with medium to complex developmental and intellectual disabilities. The school, which is recognized and funded by the Ministry of Education, works to help each of the students transform from supported to supporters, based on the Feuerstein belief that they, too, have the ability and desire to contribute to their society, each in their own way and according to their own abilities.
“At Feuerstein School, we believe in our students and recognize the learning potential in each and every one of them, rather than simply where they started out. We are certain that by providing them with thinking and learning skills, we can help each and every one of them improve their functioning levels, and become thinking and functioning people. This can also allow them to become integrated in the community, contribute to society, and enhance their personality and abilities.”
Nothing is Impossible
The Feuerstein School staff is comprised of professionals from all sectors of the population, who fully believe in the students’ abilities, and Feuerstein’s capacity to create meaningful change in their lives. They provide assistance and guidance in all aspects of life – educational mediation, behavioral guidance and instruction, communication, social relationships, functioning, and family life.
Maximizing Potential
- Creating a community that allows each and every person to develop relationships based on mutual responsibility and help.
