NA‘AMAT has 18 Technological and 2 Agricultural High Schools helping over 3,500 students!
NA‘AMAT’s network of alternative high schools targets students who have been unable to succeed in traditional schools, often because of family or behavioral problems. The high schools offer small classes, individual attention, an experienced staff and a family atmosphere. Because of these factors, most students go on to become productive members of society.
The network includes 18 Technological High Schools, including 10 in the Arab sector, and two residential Agricultural Schools. More than 3,500 students attend these schools.

NA'AMAT’s partnership with Arab women goes back to 1954, when the movement started providing sewing, cooking and Hebrew language classes in Arab villages. Over the decades, NA'AMAT has built bridges of understanding and support between Jewish and Arab Israeli women. Today, NA'AMAT is more involved in promoting the Israeli Arab woman’s quality of life than any other organization in the country.
Building on decades of interaction between Jewish and Arab women, NA'AMAT will continue to support Israel’s search for peace with its Arab neighbors and to work for better lives for all women and their families in Israel.

Our centers can accommodate up to 18,000 children ranging in age from infant to 4 years old. Recognizing the importance of early childhood education, NA'AMAT pioneered preschool education programs long before Project Head Start began in the United States.
