Givat Shmuel Religious High School Ranks Nationally for Second Consecutive Year

For the second year in a row, Bnei Akiva Givat Shmuel Yeshiva has secured the sixth position nationally in the rate of students eligible for a matriculation certificate in 5-unit mathematics. According to the "Educational Picture" data for 2025, released on Wednesday, 61.1% of the yeshiva's students achieved this level, an increase from 56.1% in 2024. The institution was also recognized among the top ten schools nationwide for "Tech Matriculation" eligibility.

These academic achievements complement the yeshiva's excellence in religious studies. Last year, it received an award from the Ministry of Education for achieving the highest score in the country for the Gemara matriculation exam for the 2024-2025 academic year. The Bnei Akiva network also celebrated another success, with Bnei Akiva Yavne Yeshiva in Haifa entering the top ten schools nationally for "Tech Matriculation" eligibility, boasting a 55.6% eligibility rate.

Elchanan Galat, CEO of the Bnei Akiva Yeshivot and Ulpanot Center, praised the Givat Shmuel Yeshiva's success, attributing it to professional educational work, perseverance, and strong belief in the students' abilities. He highlighted the school's consistent excellence in both religious and secular studies, reflecting the comprehensive support from the educational and professional staff and the students' continuous progress. Galat also expressed pleasure in seeing the achievements of Bnei Akiva Yavne in Haifa, noting its similar pursuit of excellence within the network's institutions.
