[http://www.hareali-haivri.haifa.k12.il/newsite/template5.asp?typeid=1 The Hebrew Reali School, Haifa ] ]The Reali school was established by
Arthur Biram in 1913, before the outbreak ofWorld War I . At the time, theYishuv , or pre-state Jewish community inPalestine , was engaged in a debate over the language of tuition in the country's Jewish schools. When it was decided that the sciences would be taught in German, Biram responded by founding the Hebrew Reali School.The first branch of the school was opened in the
Hadar neighborhood of Haifa. In 1923, the school moved into a building on the old campus of theTechnion which had formerly been a British military hospital.Branches
Today the school has seven branches: "Yesod Hadar" (elementary school); "Tichon Hadar" (middle school); "Yesod Ahuza" (elementary school); "Tichon Ahuza" (middle school); "Tichon Merkaz" (elementary and middle school); "Tichon Bet Biram" (high school). In 1953, a military
boarding school was established in proximity to Tichon Bet Biram.Notable alumni
