Montessori Forest

At Montessori Forest, learning is both a return to roots and a path forward. Located on the historic Mikveh Israel campus—Israel’s first agricultural school—this growing elementary program serves children who have struggled to find belonging in traditional classrooms. Here, students once labeled “different” are rediscovering their confidence, their curiosity, and their place in a community that honors who they are.

By weaving authentic Montessori education with nature-based learning, heritage exploration, and emotional resilience programming, Montessori Forest  nurtures the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Children connect deeply to the land they learn on and to one another, building not only academic skills but a lasting sense of identity and purpose.

Support from MGGF will help train dedicated teachers, strengthening the prepared environment that allows each child to thrive. Even a modest investment will have a lasting ripple effect—impacting not just today’s students, but every child who will learn from these educators in the years ahead.

In a time of uncertainty and challenge, Montessori Forest has become a place of stability and hope for families. An investment in this program is an investment in resilience, belonging, and the transformative power of education rooted in community, connection, and care.
