Although the physical conditions are far from optimal, the warmth and commitment of the Bnei Chayil staff has enabled the first students to adjust easily to their new surroundings. There are currently five grades operating at the school, grades 7 - 11, with a total of 60 children. The school intends to add a new class next year, ultimately serving students in grades 7 - 12. There are 25 teachers on staff at the school. Each class has a main teacher, who teaches most Judaic subjects.
Additional teachers instruct in the secular subjects.
At all times, however, the main teacher is present in the classroom to help ensure the students' attention to the subject matter. Special-education teachers work with individual students to assist them in understanding their academic subjects while training them to overcome their various learning disabilities. A specially trained psychologist and social worker are on hand to advise teachers and to help students overcome their handicaps. To accommodate the students' special needs, no more than 15 boys may be enrolled in a class. The extremely high teacher to student ratio is the key to the school's success, although it creates a major strain on the school's budget.
