AMIT is the leading educational network in Israel serving about 100 schools. The leadership at AMIT realized that in order to introduce innovations across the schools it serves, the first and most important thing to do was to prepare all their teachers in a modern and well-equipped facility. However, the only available space was a very poorly designed and maintained school that our team completely gutted and renovated. The hallmark of the new design is that GOGYA provides teachers with the same kind of dynamic student-centered experiences that AMIT wishes for the teachers to create for their own students. Since its opening, GOGYA quickly became a nationally recognized icon and several thousand teachers have already benefited from its cutting-edge program and spaces.
