Ethos & Values

"Let there be light through faith and work"

Chesed Kehila commitment to learning

King David High School is described as an Orthodox Jewish School with a Jewish ethos underpinning all school life, while also noting a multicultural and diverse student body. It operates an on-site synagogue (Beit Knesset) and requires heads to be covered in various settings; daily Jewish prayer practices (Shacharit, Mincha, Ma'ariv) occur, and joint services are held with regular Friday Shabbat services for pupils. Jewish Studies and Modern Hebrew are compulsory components of the pupil's programme; Kashrut is observed with strict kosher guidelines in school kitchens and lunch areas; mezuzahs are fixed on doors; modesty in dress is promoted; and a calendar is influenced by Jewish festival observances and Shabbat. The King David Way expresses core ethos values, including a commitment to learning and a community built around edah, tsibbur, and kehillah concepts, and is reinforced through school life and activities such as trips and lunchtime programs.
