=== Hand in Hand Bilingual Arab-Jewish Schools ===
[[Hand in Hand: Center for Jewish Arab Education in Israel|Hand in Hand]] runs a network of four bilingual ([[Arabic]] and [[Hebrew]]) schools that serve more than 800 students in Jerusalem, the Galilee ([[Galil Jewish-Arab School]]), Wadi Ara ([[Hand in Hand – Bridge over the Wadi|Hand in Hand "Gesher al HaWadi" School]]) and [http://www.hajar.org.il/ Be'er Sheva (the Hagar School)].  Half the students are Palestinian citizens of Israel, and the other half are Jewish citizens of Israel.  Students study in both languages simultaneously, and plans call for an eventual expansion to the 12th grade.<ref>[http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=627266&contrassID=2&subContrassID=15&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y Eli Ashkenazi, "The Jew comes to learn from the Arab – and it works," ''Ha'aretz'' English Edition (Israel), September 21, 2005.] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070220224608/http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=627266&contrassID=2&subContrassID=15&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y |date=February 20, 2007 }}</ref> [http://www.handinhand12.org/ To Hand in Hand's Website in English]
