Borochov school

Borochov School is a primary school and heritage site in Givatayim that displays architectural features typical of early Israeli education buildings from the early 20th century. The structure includes traditional classrooms, open courtyards, and remains in active use as a working school.

This school was established in the Borochov neighborhood, Israel's first workers' settlement, where it became central to educating children from pioneer families. The building emerged during the nation's formative years when schooling was essential to building society.

The school bears the name of Dov Ber Borochov, a key figure in the Zionist workers' movement, and stands in a neighborhood founded by early pioneers. The building reflects how education was woven into the daily life of the first families who built this community.

The building operates as an active school and visits are possible with prior arrangement, keeping in mind regular school hours. Visitors should be considerate of ongoing school activities and respect designated visiting times.

The school stands on one of the two hills that gave Givatayim its name, positioning it at an elevation with views of the greater Gush Dan metropolitan area. This geographic feature made the location significant for establishing the pioneering settlement.
