History
The school, affiliated with the Shalom Hartman Institute, is located in Jerusalem's German Colony. It has a student population of 350 in grades 7-12. The principal of the High School is Shaul David, and the principal of the Middle School is Channan Zuker.
Hartman describes its educational philosophy as a "dual embrace of tradition and tolerance." It is committed to the State of Israel, community action, and leadership in embracing differences.[1] The school is considered pluralistic and liberal.[2]
A high school for girls, Midrashiya,[3] was established in 2007. Hartman High School also offers a special class for students with autism, Asperger's, and PDD. Volunteerism is part of the curriculum: Students deliver food baskets to needy families and visit senior citizens homes.
