Tali Toledano, the school principal, tells the delegation about how the school
promotes entrepreneurial education among its 403 students, between 1st and 6th
grades.
The school’s goal is to equip its students with values, skills and abilities like belief in
their ability to succeed, knowing what they are able to do and the will to succeed.
An entrepreneur- a person who takes an idea and makes it a reality.
Skills of an entrepreneur, which the school endeavors to develop in its
students: the ability to recognize opportunities, the desire to learn to take
responsibility, to act on ideas, even if they are not routine, and to dare.
Tali Toledano, school principal: We developed a study program for each age group,
which develop entrepreneurship-specific skills, these programs change every year.
In addition, we teach the students about groundbreaking Jewish leaders and their
childhoods.
A mother and students presented their view of how entrepreneurial education
leads them to recognize an opportunity in their gluten and dairy intolerance and
raise awareness on the topic among school students.
The delegation received an informational packet about the school’s entrepreneurial
education.

The delegation visited different classrooms. This is a combined class during
“cooking up stories”. At the end of the lesson, the delegation tasted the cookies
that the students baked.

English, as well as the advantages, market audience and more.
During a project-based learning process, the students planned an accessible
playground venture. Two representatives from the student group spoke about how
they came up with the idea, the process of building models and turning to the city to
start executing the idea.
The delegation members inspected the different models for the accessible
playground, which were built by the students.
