The way in which the schedule is organized reflects the school’s policy, the focal points of the school-based curricula, and the differential response to pupils’ needs. Therefore, the schedule in the primary school is largely based on allocating units of flexible time, where different pupils will be occupied with different subjects or fields at the school’s discretion and in accordance with the various characteristics of its pupils.

Nevertheless, the school must ensure that over the course of the six years of study, 75% of the hours are allocated to teaching the basic curriculum using various approaches to knowledge, while the remaining 25% of the hours may be utilized freely as the school sees fit.

The allocation of 75% of the school schedule to teaching the basic curriculum can be expressed by teaching each subject separately, or through an interdisciplinary approach that combines the methods of different teaching approaches. The remaining 25% of the schedule is intended to be used freely by the school for additional disciplines using either one or more of the approaches.
