About the project
The Nitzanim (Buds) School serves approximately 90 children aged six-16 with mild to moderate retardation. It offers a regular academic program for its students and rehabilitative and vocational workshops for children from Jerusalem’s other special education schools. The Jerusalem Foundation has supported activities at the school, and construction of two playgrounds: one at the school’s former facility (what previously had been the Lapidot School and later would become the Pelech Religious Experimental High School for Girls) in 1993 and one at the school’s new facility, to which it moved in 1996.
