Modern Hebrew (Ivrit)
The Modern Hebrew (Ivrit) teachers at LSGS believe that by learning Ivrit pupils are gaining much more than just a MFL. There is an additional feeling that pupils develop their Jewish identity.
Pupils do exceptionally well in the GCSE. The most experienced and able Ivrit speakers take the GCSE a year or two early.
GCSE Modern Hebrew has a Foundation Tier (grades 1–5) and a Higher Tier (grades 4–9). The GCSE is comprised of 4 sections: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
