How is the relationship between students and staff?

The relationship between the students and the staff is a relationship of honesty and trust and mutual appreciation. The staff of teachers in Pelech has a long tradition of educational work that combines professional teaching at the highest level together with a constant, supportive and personal relationship with each and every student. The girls receive warm and familial attention throughout their years at school with the help of the “Chonchut” system, where every student has a specific member of staff that she can turn to with any issue that arises. This exists alongside the dedicated work of the class teachers. In the 7th and 8th grades, the girls and the staff participate in a program of group meetings called “Connections” (Chiburim). Each group of students, under the guidance of a staff member, meets once a month in order to engage together in social-emotional issues that arise during the year and to deepen the acquaintance between the students and between themselves and between them and the educational staff. The teachers in Pelech love their work and see the school as an educational laboratory for the implementation of innovative educational initiatives that reflect the goals of the school and the needs of the students in their content and method of teaching.
