Sustain a Community of
Hope and Peace

Why Support Us Now?

In times of uncertainty, Tabeetha School remains a beacon of mutual respect, shared society and peace. For over 150 years, we have brought together children of Christian, Muslim, Jewish and other diverse backgrounds to learn side by side, grow in friendship and build a future shaped by hope and understanding.

Although Tabeetha is a private school, it is run as a mission school. We keep tuition as low as possible, receive only limited state funding and operate as a non-profit charity under Israeli law and the oversight of the Church of Scotland.

Today we need your help. Rising costs and the challenges created by the conflict have placed the school, and our families, under financial strain. Your support helps us continue offering a safe, inclusive environment for learning, wellbeing and reconciliation where children of all faiths learn and grow together.

Build a Future of Hope

Tabeetha is more than a school. It is a living example of peaceful coexistence. Your support ensures that our spirit of inclusivity, learning and justice will shape generations.

What Your Gift Supports

Your gift strengthens what makes Tabeetha special. The school runs efficiently and sustainably, but philanthropy allows us to go further, giving our students more opportunities in an environment built on inclusion, care and mutual respect.

1. Bursary Fund – Equal Access for All

Your gift ensures that a child’s background never decides their future. Bursaries make it possible for families from all walks of life to choose Tabeetha, creating classrooms where children learn together in respect, friendship and peace.

2. Student Wellbeing – Resilience and Care

Provide counselling and social-emotional support so students can process anxiety and trauma from the ongoing conflict, build confidence and thrive in a community that values understanding and respect.

3. Learning & Enrichment – Classrooms and Resources

Equip classrooms, labs and libraries with the tools that spark curiosity, achievement and connect students across languages and cultures.

“During the hardest time of our lives the bursary programme gave us hope and the strength to move forward. You truly made us feel part of your family.” – Parent of a bursary-supported student
