Hebrew Public

Charter school network teaching Modern Hebrew

Overview

Hebrew Public is a nonprofit charter management organization that runs a national network of public charter schools teaching Modern Hebrew. It helps start new Hebrew charter schools and provides ongoing support to existing schools with Hebrew and Israel-studies curricula, leadership coaching, grants, and professional development; some schools are directly managed while others operate under affiliate agreements. The schools use a dual-language, non-sectarian model with core subjects plus a daily 50-minute immersive Hebrew class taught by native speakers and Israel studies. The network aims to prepare students as global citizens by developing communication, critical thinking, and empathy through Hebrew education, open to all via lottery-based admission in public, free schools across multiple cities.
