Rawdat El-Zuhur is a non-governmental non-profit women’s organization that supervises Rawdat El-Zuhur elementary school and kindergarten in East Jerusalem, which serves mainly the lower income community.

 

It aims at bringing up a new generation that is:      

• Aware of the principles of good citizenship, and concerned for the environment.
• Capable of thinking creatively, and analyzing logically and critically, offering  and accepting positive criticism, and excelling in performance.
• Equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to assume leadership in a democratic society which they would develop and preserve.   

 Rawdat El-Zuhur achieves this through the provision of equitable,  qualitative, and holistic opportunities for pre-school and primary education.

The Vision of Rawdat El Zuhur

• A distinguished school in terms of its quality services in the field of pre- and basic schooling.

• A school that provides equitable opportunities for the children of Jerusalem, and is characterized by its relationship with the society in general and parents in particular.

• A school where research, reading, use of modern technology and computers, form an essential component of the learning process, just as music, arts, sports form an essential component of the extracurricular programs and activities.
• A school where teachers are able to deal with individual differences among students, and to provide a safe and innovative climate for students and children. Our vision is for Rawdat El-Zuhur to become a model school in terms of location, space, and physical infrastructure, as well as in the effectiveness of its management, and teaching methods and staff.
