Leaders who are committed to peace and justice in the Middle East and across the world? Givat Haviva International School (GHIS) opened in August 2018, to create a group of leaders with the skills and desire to work together towards a more equitable and sustainable future.

GHIS is a high school like no other in the world.  Located in Wadi Ara in Israel - the school brings together a unique student body - 25% Jews from Israel, 25% Palestinians from Israel and the other 50% from all over the world - many from conflict zones. 

Our students are living and learning together, breaking down barriers and creating life-long friendships. They study the internationally respected IB Diploma Programme combined with a bespoke curriculum in Conflict Resolution, Diplomacy and Social Entrepreneurship. 

Over 60% of our students are girls (some from countries with gender discrimination such as South Sudan, Armenia and Palestine)  - who are now gaining the skills and more importantly, the confidence, to become future leaders. 

Our focus on academic excellence and leadership capability means that the students come from a range of socio-economic backgrounds; the majority are unable to meet the tuition fees for a world class education . With the very important help of our supporting partners GHIS is offering them, their communities the region and the world hope for a better future.
