At Granite Ivrit, we believe Hebrew education should ignite curiosity, build identity, and connect students to their roots in a lasting way. That’s why we’re redefining how Hebrew is taught—with a holistic, culturally rich, and deeply practical approach.

In addition to our full curriculum geared for grades 1-8, our textbooks for teaching reading and writing in the early grades, and our series of holiday-themed units focused on language and Israeli culture, our holistically designed sequence of textbooks from beginner through advanced levels, we’re continuing to offer:
Pedagogical consulting for schools seeking to strengthen and advance Hebrew language instruction as a second language.
Full- and half-day in-service sessions, PD seminars, and interactive workshops designed to strengthen Hebrew instruction and expand your team’s pedagogical toolbox.
Ongoing mentoring and coaching for teachers, coordinators and principals, adapted to your school’s needs.
Lesson observation and video analysis, used as a reflective and practical tool to support professional growth and deepen instructional impact.
Granite Ivrit Mechina Program—a year-long professional learning track for teachers who want to deepen their expertise in Hebrew as a second language.
