The Kedma School (Hebrew: בית הספר קדמה) is a high school in Katamonim, Jerusalem.

History[edit]

As of 2011, the school had 160 students in grades 7–12. Kedma opened in 1994. As of 2011 the class ratio is one to 13.[1]

As of 2011, most students are Jews from North Africa, including Moroccan; Sephardi; Ethiopian; and Kurdish origins. Most of the students had previously substandard test scores and/or issues with discipline and therefore had left their mainstream schools.[1]
