Netzach Educational Network

Israel’s ultra-Orthodox (Charedi) community makes up 13% of the population (approx. 1.2 million) and is the country’s fastest-growing population. They already constitute 25% of students within the educational system and within a couple of decades, Charedi society will comprise 40% of Israel’s population. The Charedim are the country’s poorest population, with over 60% of the children living below the poverty line, twice the number of the non-Charedi society. The source of this grim reality is an educational system that does not equip Charedim to embark on fruitful careers. The Netzach Response: Established in 2017, the Netzach Educational Network recognized the critical need to revamp the Charedi educational system. The Network provides our students with an outstanding Charedi education, while preparing our students to attain their bagrut (matriculation) certificate. This education equips our graduates with the tools to compete for quality employment and to pursue higher education. While there are some individual Charedi schools throughout Israel that provide a dual track, the Netzach Educational Network is the only network in Israel. The Netzach Mission: We provide outstanding Torah education and academic studies, empowering our graduates to remain strongly connected to our fundamental values and Torah observance while generating a strong, financially viable future for their families, and the Israeli economy. Netzach’s Growth: Today, the Netzach network is 10 schools strong. What started out with 14 students, currently serves 1,150 students and fully expect to be serving 1,500-1,800 within a few years (not including the over ten thousand registered at our Eshkolot Virtual School).
