About Kitov
Where every girl’s flame is given room to grow.
Kitov Sachra is a Bais Yaakov seminary for young women after high school. Our mission is simple: to help each student reach the highest caliber of spiritual and personal growth, in a warm and loving environment.
The year is lived in Yerushalayim itself, in the Geula neighborhood, minutes from the Old City and the Kosel. Classes, chesed, trips and friendships all happen in the city that sits at the center of our tefillos.

The year
More than a year abroad.
A seminary year is a turning point. At Kitov it is built on four things.
Chesed
Giving is part of the week, including regular visits with children with special needs in Jerusalem: art, dancing, and cards for the Yamim Tovim.
Eretz Yisrael
Trips across the land that are meant to be meaningful, not just memorable, from the Kosel to the north and the south.
Friendship & production
A close-knit family of girls, and a big seminary production that brings the whole year together on one stage.
