History

Bialik Hebrew Day School was established in 1961 with 54 students and four staff members by members of the Labour Zionist movement, with Moishe Mendachovsky as its first principal. By 1975, enrolment had increased to 550 students and 52 staff.[1] The school was named in honour of the poet Chaim Nachman Bialik. It has four "houses" named after Israeli universities: Bar-Ilan/Tel-Aviv, Ben-Gurion/Weizmann, Hebrew University, and Haifa/Technion.

gollark: Probably. I'm just terrible at answering "favourite X" questions.
