Darca Schools (Darca, "The Path" in Aramaic) is a non-profit organization operating a network of 30 schools and learning centers located in Israel's geographic and socio-economic periphery.

History

The Darca Network was established in Israel by the Alliance Israélite Universelle and Rashi Foundation in 2010. In June 2014 Darca Schools Network formed an alliance with YRF Israel. YRF Darca is the philanthropic funding partner for the Darca Schools Network.^[1] Darca is sustained by donations from Israeli and international foundations, businesses, and individuals, in addition to the budget provided by the Israeli Ministry of Education. Darca's primary goal is to strengthen under-served communities in Israel’s periphery by strengthening the local education system, specifically in high schools.^[2]

The Darca Network serves all sectors of Israeli society. It operates and manages 28 schools and two learning centers nationwide, including four schools under its pedagogical auspices. A significant portion of the network's resources are invested in the development of programs to support school leadership teams, while simultaneously promoting academic achievement, social values and social responsibility. Darca offers its teachers continuous training programs so that they can effectively convey and teach humanitarian and democratic values to the students, as well as to provide high level studies in STEM, English, Literature and all other academic subjects .^[3]
