Shreiber Family Corporate Lyceum, Bila Tserkva was officially established on December 4, 2024, as a successor to the Bila Tserkva Private Lyceum Mitzvah-613, originally founded in 2005. The school affiliated to the ORT network in 2021 and has since become a leader in innovation, inclusivity, and Jewish education in Ukraine.

Combining Ukrainian national education standards with modern technologies and a rich Jewish curriculum, the Lyceum fosters academic excellence, creativity, leadership, and community engagement. It supports around 390 students, including children from disadvantaged backgrounds, through its Kalaniot boarding school, which also provides shelter for refugees from occupied territories. With cutting-edge facilities, inclusive education programs, and vibrant extracurricular life, the Lyceum nurtures confident, capable, and socially aware learners.

The Lyceum operates under the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science but places strong emphasis on Jewish studies and STEM. Students engage in subjects like Hebrew, Jewish traditions, Holocaust history, Jewish literature, and Israeli geography as well as subjects like robotics, 3D design, web development and programming.

The school uses Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew in instruction. Moreover, the teachers are internationally trained in working with children with special educational needs. Thanks to ORT Ukraine and its partners’ support, the new Lyceum building features modern learning environments.

Academic excellence is a hallmark of the Lyceum, which consistently ranks highly in national testing and Olympiads.

Extracurricular activities flourish at the Lyceum, with clubs and electives spanning robotics, culinary arts, PR management, digital media, programming, and design.

Students can join:

• Robotics and LEGO construction in kindergarten and primary school
• Theatre and choreography groups
• Chess club
• Culinary club
• Drone control club
• WEB programming and digital multimedia design
• 3D modelling and animation
• Instrumental music and photo clubs
• Landscape and architectural design
• Student self-government and a teenage leadership club

Students also participate in volunteer initiatives such as supporting the elderly, organizing charity fairs, and engaging in environmental projects.

With support from ORT Ukraine, the Lyceum integrates cutting-edge educational approaches, including AI, Arduino, 3D modeling, and web design. It is recognized as a hub for inclusive education and served as a national representative at the 2024 UNESCO Forum on Inclusive Schools in Paris.

Kalaniot, the on-campus boarding school, provides a safe and supportive learning environment for orphans and vulnerable children. Once fully renovated, it will accommodate up to 100 students.

The Lyceum shares best practices in STEM, Jewish studies, and emotional development and actively collaborates with educators across Ukraine and internationally.

The Lyceum equips students for future careers and civic life through leadership programs, project-based learning, and real-world problem-solving. It integrates emotional development with academic achievement and provides targeted support for students of all abilities. Its participation in social initiatives, volunteer work, and Jewish leadership camps such as CO Halom, AJT, and Rama Yahad allows students to develop confidence, purpose, and global awareness.

Jewish studies are embedded across all grade levels and form a central part of the school’s ethos. Classes cover Hebrew, Jewish traditions, history, and literature.

Jewish holidays are celebrated through school-wide events, performances, and class-led initiatives. Students also take part in Jewish competitions such as the Hefziba International Olympiad and Hidon HaTanakh. Parents and families are regularly included in the school’s Jewish cultural and educational programs.

Prior to the war, the Lyceum regularly organized educational trips to Israel. It continues to participate in international projects online. Students are exposed to global perspectives through Jewish networks and environmental collaborations in Ukraine and Israel.
