WBAIS and Israel
Established under the auspices of the American Embassy in 1958, The Walworth Barbour
American International School in Israel (WBAIS) is a MSA accredited, fully independent,
co-educational Pre-K - 12 international school, which offers a robust program leading to a US high
school diploma.
With a present enrollment of approximately 450 students representing over 40 nationalities,
WBAIS Israel is a diverse and vibrant community. Approximately 30% of WBAIS students are
American, 40% from countries all over the world, and 30% Israeli.
In 2008 WBAIS moved to its current 19-acre campus that opened in 2007 and is located in the
town of Even Yehuda, a residential community approximately 20 kilometers north of Tel Aviv. The
purpose-built campus includes four separate divisions, a performing arts building with a 400-seat
auditorium, full gym, cafeteria, library and media center, athletic fields, tennis and basketball
courts, and an Olympic-sized pool.
