In January 1987, after years of occupying rented quarters, Neve Yerushalayim moved to its magnificent new campus in Har Nof, Jerusalem's largest modern religious suburb. The beautifully landscaped campus is situated on an elevated six-acre plot of land offering a tranquil atmosphere and breathtaking views of the Jerusalem hills.

Twelve buildings currently occupy the campus. Students are housed in eight fully-furnished residences and take their meals in the dining hall that is equipped with a modern kitchen. Three academic buildings provide classrooms, computer and science laboratories, libraries, and administrative offices. One of the academic buildings, recently completed, serves as a science and arts complex and includes an advanced audio-visual center. The campus also houses The Family Institute and therapy clinic – the Counseling Center.

Other facilities on the campus are an amphitheater that provides a spectacular setting for outdoor lectures and performances, a gym, and a synagogue that serves both the students and community residents. Future building plans call for a large auditorium and a sports and health complex for both the students and the community.

Tours

To enrich the student’s learning experience, Neve offers tours and visits to biblical, historical, and nature sites throughout Israel. These field trips augment classroom study and provide firsthand knowledge of the land.

Accommodations

Neve students are housed in dormitory residences located on campus. Each building contains six apartments, five that are occupied by the students and one that is occupied by a housemother and her family. Each student apartment has four dormitory rooms, a kitchen, washroom facilities including showers, and a laundry room for hand washables. (Automatic washers and dryers are available elsewhere on campus.)

Three students are assigned to each dormitory room. The housemother is responsible for the well being of all the students in her dormitory.

Dormitory life is friendly, broadening, and educational. Students come from varying backgrounds, countries, and walks of life. Together they work to create a harmonious home-like atmosphere.

Students over 30 years of age require special permission from the Chairman to reside in the dormitories. Off-campus private rentals are available in the neighborhood or surrounding area for older students or for those who prefer not to live in a dormitory.

Meal Services

Three meals a day are served in the school’s dining hall. The Administrator of Food Services tries to accommodate special dietary needs.

Periodically the school spends Shabbat together, either on the Neve campus or out of town. Most weeks, however, the student eats Shabbat meals with families of her choice, or if she wishes, with families assigned by the school. A student may ask to be placed in Jerusalem or in other locations throughout Israel. This system enables students to experience the richness of Shabbat, meet many families living in Israel, and become acquainted with different parts of the country.
