Education In 1952, Gesher HaZiv became the second kibbutz to have its children sleep in the parents' homes (, lina Mishpahtit) rather than in communal children's houses (, lina meshutefet). On the kibbutz grounds are two regional schools: the elementary school Hofei HaGalil ("Galilee Shores"; grades 1–6) and the experiential secondary school Sulam Tsor ("Ladder to Tyre"; grades 7–12). These schools serve local kibbutzim and moshavim, along with accepting private students from nearby towns. Since the mid-1990s, Gesher HaZiv has its own local chapter of the Zionist youth movement HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed.
