As a boarding school, we know that all children are different and would ideally like to meet you and your child, allow you to experience the school and get to know you all so that we fully understand your needs. However, we have students from over 40 countries already studying with us, so we know that it isn’t always easy to come and visit the school. This is why we have created a process where you can find out everything you need to know about the school from our website.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Green Up​

"Green Up" is the EMIS program that promotes taking responsibility and action towards the environmental challenges we face today. The program empowers EMIS students to engage in the EMIS mission, promote ecological responsibility in their daily lives, and to contribute to a more sustainable future for all life on planet earth.

Ecological Responsibility


.In today’s world, taking care of the environment means being aware of how our choices affect the planet and how we can each make a positive impact in our own way. At EMIS, we learn and act throughout all parts of life- academics, extracurricular activities, boarding life, online presence, and more. Students are encouraged to discover what environmental topics and issues are important to them, to explore different approaches to activism, and take responsibility for the environment that supports us. Our planet faces unprecedented challenges, including the rate of climate change, depletion of natural resources, and decrease in biodiversity. As an educational institution, we have the opportunity to model sustainable living to take our part in lowering our environmental impact.  

 

Be an environmental leader

Our students use their time at EMIS to develop their perspectives and beliefs, learn skills and experiment with activism to assume their own environmental leadership identity. The ‘Green Team’ is an extracurricular club, part of the CAS program (creativity, activity and service) that is one of the most active and hands-on CAS options. The club is guided by student leaders, who facilitate a wider group of students to engage in real-life projects and initiatives both in school and beyond in the wider community. 

Community Action

We aim to raise awareness and connect with diverse communities in our area. We practice ‘greening’ our own campus community, while also inspiring other schools and communities to embark on their own green journey. The core values of responsibility and making a positive impact guide us to work in the surrounding communities through activities such as local beach-cleanups, climate activism, education for youth, and more.

Hands-on learning

Bee Ambassador Project

In cooperation with the Embassy of the Netherlands to Israel, our project focused on ambassadorship, public outreach and creating a model for regional bee conservation. By distributing wildflower seeds, engaging with the public, and organizing planting events we ensure that all generations know the importance of wildflowers in protecting the many bee species in Israel and around the world. We constructed a bee and insect ‘hotel’ from natural materials with Israel’s leading bee expect Yossi Oud as a practical solution and landmark for the public to learn about bee habitat conservation.

Climate Forest Project

Deforestation is a global issue – taking care of forests, and planting trees in the right way is very important. We cooperate with the Good Energy Initiative, a local NGO, on a climate forest project to promote tree-planting projects that are ecologically and socially beneficial.

In 2021-2022 EMIS was an awardee of the SIPP Mini-Grant which supports projects that engage Israeli and Palestinian communities to further environmental interests and build meaningful connections. Their support funded an Ambassador Program that awarded three students’ merit-based scholarships to promote environmental initiatives – an Israeli, a Palestinian and an international student. These students represented issues connected to environmental peacebuilding and sustainability on campus and in the local community. This pilot program continued in 2022-2023 for an additional three students, and evolved into broader leadership positions for students at the school.

The Beracha Foundation is a critical supporter of EMIS as increase our effectiveness as regional influencers in the field of sustainability in the Middle East. Beracha allows EMIS the ability to not only to educate our own students, but to create a model for education at a school that can be replicated elsewhere in the region. With Beracha’s assistance, EMIS is developing as a role model, hub and network leader to youth-led changes.

The EMIS Green Up Program was founded and developed with their generous support.
