High school students engage in a curriculum that includes core subjects, elective courses, and formative pathways designed to prepare them for university.

The school prioritizes mental health and emotional development through initiatives like the LIV (Life Intelligence Laboratory) for younger students and the 'Safe' programme for adolescents, which addresses emotional health and life skills. Additionally, the STEER tracking system is utilized from grades G4 to G6 to identify and support students who may require early intervention regarding behavioral patterns.

The school maintains a formal admissions policy and provides information regarding its enrollment processes. Prospective families are encouraged to review the school's specific policies to understand the requirements for joining the community.

The school operates on a structured academic calendar that has evolved since its founding in 2001. It marks significant milestones throughout the year, including cultural events, religious ceremonies, and academic assessments.

The campus features specialized infrastructure including a covered gymnasium, equipped laboratories, study and social areas, and multiple synagogues, such as the Or Yossef Synagogue. The school also houses a dedicated building for early childhood education, a theatre, and libraries with separate catalogues for lower and upper school levels.

The After School programme promotes physical, social, and psychological well-being through activities such as athletics, ballet, basketball, circus arts, Israeli dance, football, gymnastics, judo, music, skating, skateboarding, theatre, tennis, and chess.
