The proposed educational institution strives to demonstrate the magic of childhood and the myth of adolescence to its students. The school, which features a boarding school, is located on and around the tip of the land barrier established in 2003 between Jisr az-Zarqa on the North and Caesarea to the South, facing the Mediterranean Sea. The institution aspires to provide a comprehensive experience of life, learning and being, and to connect students to themselves, their friends, and the environment. The school is tailored to its unique location between the two towns – it overlooks them and addresses the conflicted setting that surrounds it, as well as the landscape features. Concurrently, it aspires to create a world for its students which is distinct from the socio-political reality, and to provide a childhood experience that nurtures creativity, curiosity, and imagination. Thus, the institution offers a possible framework for a respectful meeting between children from both towns which will lay the groundwork for a profound change in the relationship between the two communities.
