Evelina de Rothschild high school

The Evelina de Rothschild School occupies several buildings along Ussishkin Street, serving female students from elementary through secondary education levels. The campus includes classrooms, specialized facilities, and libraries that support learning for hundreds of students.

The school was founded in 1854 and was the first girls' school to open in Jerusalem at that time. Baron Lionel de Rothschild renamed it after his daughter Evelina in 1867, marking an important moment in the institution's growth.

The school blends Jewish religious education with academic subjects, drawing students from different communities across the city. This combination shapes daily school life and the values emphasized in the classrooms.

The campus is located in the Rechavia neighborhood and is easily accessible by public transport. Note that access may be limited during school hours, so it is better to visit on days when classes are not in session or to contact ahead.

The school houses the Mordechai & Freida Eliash Library, established in 1989 with an extensive collection of learning materials. This library serves as an important research hub and is considered by many to be the heart of the school's academic resources.
