Projects, Programs & Initiatives
While building a new campus is our biggest challenge and most immediate need, it is our special activities which make Makor Chaim unique. Our parent’s tuition and the Ministry of Education provide the financial basis for the ongoing functioning of our high school, but besides the construction of our new campus, we can use all the help we can get for our other projects as well!
