“We teach our students to measure the world, read the data, present it correctly, and derive valid conclusions from it”
The Schwartz/Reisman Science Education Foundation, Israel manages and provides organizational, financial, legal and pedagogical support to the Schwartz/Reisman Science
Education Centers – campuses for high-school physics and chemistry studies at Israel’s five-unit matriculation level. Based on a unique groundbreaking model that focuses on learning through personal experience, the centers provide all learners with a nurturing environment, advanced laboratories equipped with advanced instrumentation and a highly trained professional team, which includes teachers working under the same roof to develop content and towards mutual enrichment. The teaching method is designed to advance the quality of science education and cultivate a culture of excellence among Israel’s students.
Today, there are seven campuses spanning the country from south to north, from Netivot in the western Negev to Acre in the north. Our teaching teams, comprising over 120 teachers and teaching assistants, collaborate across locations, fostering a culture of shared learning and innovation. Together, they develop pioneering content, demonstrations, and experiments.
Our esteemed supporters in Israel and across the globe play a pivotal role in advancing the Schwartz/Reisman Science Education Centers in Israel, providing invaluable backing for their growth and expansion. Their contributions are instrumental in fostering advanced and high-quality science education for high school students throughout the country.
Through their eponymous foundation, Jerry Schwartz and Heather Reisman made the inceptive contribution to establish and sustain the network of centers, continuing their support over the years.
Prof. Ruth and Dr. Uriel Arnon generously contributed to the construction of the campus, which now proudly bears their name. The Arnon family further donated to the endowment fund, facilitating the procurement of scientific equipment for the center’s students.
Together with these remarkable individuals, other dedicated donors have demonstrated unwavering commitment, generosity, and engagement, enabling the establishment of a community with local roots and a nationwide impact on innovative science education in Israel. Their partnership and extraordinary generosity are deeply appreciated, shaping the landscape of Israeli science education for generations to come. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of them.
