Today
Leyada is considered one of the country's most prestigious high schools.
The school has a five-day week (Sunday through Thursday), keeping facilities open on Fridays for self-study. In addition to the 25+ classrooms, facilities include two 200 seat lecture halls, fully equipped physics and chemistry laboratories, a library, a chamber-music auditorium, a 600-seat theatre, a professional gym and a regulation-size basketball court.
The current principal is Dr. Gilad Amir (class of 1970), who joined faculty in 1977 as a math teacher, and took the top position in 2003 from 35-year veteran Hana Levitte. Among the school's board of directors is Israeli Labor Party member Orna Angel, a 1980 Leyada graduate and former CEO of the Tel Aviv Port Authority.
