Shimon Peres Hi-Tech & Arts School (formerly Shevach Moffet)

What Shimon Peres Hi-Tech & Arts School (formerly Shevach Moffet) does

Shimon Peres Hi-Tech & Arts School is a public secondary education institution located in Tel Aviv, Israel, operating under the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality and Israeli Ministry of Education. Originally founded in 1942 as Shevach Moffet and rebranded in January 2020, the school serves middle and high school students (grades 7-12) with a curriculum that integrates STEM (hi-tech) education with arts disciplines. Its portfolio includes multiple specialty sub-programs: an Arts Center (visual arts, photography, cinema, applied art), an Entrepreneurship Center (social innovation and global citizenship), a Chess Academy, a Diplomacy Track, a Biotechnology Track, and an affiliated Technology College that awards engineering diplomas in mechanical engineering and mechatronics.

The institution operates a project-based learning methodology, employing AI tools across podcast production, generative-art projects (such as "Dream Sails" combining human, AI, and augmented-reality elements), and interdisciplinary initiatives. It maintains UNESCO affiliation, international exchange programs (notably with Germany via Nordrhein-Westfalen and the Goethe Institute), and partnerships with the European Training Foundation and SAGE Global. The school holds the documented record for the most international competition wins among Israeli schools, ranks among the top 200 schools nationally in matriculation results, and was cited by the Israeli State Comptroller as a model for teaching 21st-century skills.

As a public institution, the school is government-funded and does not generate commercial revenue. Its "customers" are enrolled students and their families, with graduates feeding into IDF technological units, higher education, and industry. Distribution occurs through the Israeli Ministry of Education's centralized enrollment system, supplemented by the school's website, Instagram, and local press coverage in Tel Aviv. There is no traditional go-to-market motion; rather, the institution competes for student enrollment within the public school system via brand reputation, programmatic differentiation, and academic outcomes.

Direct peers

• Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art: Israeli academic college integrating engineering, design, and art — a direct analogue to the Shimon Peres school's STEM-arts combination, especially relevant given the technological college division's applied focus.
• Kinneret College: Israeli academic college offering engineering, technology, and applied sciences programs. Comparable as a post-secondary technical institution serving students from Israeli secondary schools, similar in scope to the Shimon Peres technological college division.
• High Tech High: US-based network of project-based, STEM-focused secondary schools with an integrated, learner-centered curriculum. Highly comparable to Shimon Peres' project-based, STEM-arts integration philosophy at the secondary level.
• Israel Arts and Science Academy: Israeli residential secondary school specializing in sciences and arts for grades 9-12. Closest direct Israeli peer given the parallel specialized secondary model combining advanced academics with arts emphasis.
• Alliance Israel (Alliance High School Tel Aviv): International and bilingual secondary school network operating in Tel Aviv, serving a similar Tel Aviv family demographic and competing for students seeking specialized, internationally-oriented secondary education.
• ORT Braude College of Engineering: Israeli technological college in Karmiel offering practical engineering diplomas including mechanical engineering and mechatronics — the same disciplines offered by Shimon Peres' affiliated technological college.

Broad incumbents

• World ORT: International Jewish educational network with significant STEM-focused secondary and post-secondary programs in Israel. Operates a broader portfolio but shares the STEM-education-for-career-readiness mission relevant to the technological college division.
• AMIT: Israeli educational network operating multiple STEM-focused secondary schools across Israel. Comparable in mission and scale, with a broader geographic portfolio that contrasts with Shimon Peres' single Tel Aviv campus.
• Technion International: International branch of Israel's premier STEM university, offering STEM higher education to Israeli and global students. Comparable as a STEM-focused Israeli institution serving students progressing from secondary education, though at a higher education level.
