Where children flourish

Academic excellence and Jewish life in Limassol

The Yael Vision

A dream
brought to life

Yael School Limassol is the dream and flagship project of Uri and Yael Poliavich, founders of the Yael Foundation. Their vision is to make exceptional general and Jewish education accessible to Jewish children, wherever they live and however large or small their community, while strengthening identity, opportunity, and the next generation of Jewish leadership.

Yael School Limassol will be the first school built entirely by the Yael Foundation

Its planned €70 million campus investment will support phased growth to serve up to 1,250 students at full capacity.
