NBS teaches students of all ages about respect and tolerance. In a land of perpetual conflict, NBS believes that face-to-face encounters help students overcome stereotypes. In this photo, NBS 6th graders are involved with 6th graders from a Jewish school. The walls of racism are torn down...who can tell the Arab child from the Jewish child?
