The first phase of Dorot Village begins — constructing the school building with classrooms and an aquatic centre that will serve the whole community.
Phase 1 breaks ground on the new Kineret Tamim Academy school building — a purpose-built home for Victoria's first Jewish day school. The building will include state-of-the-art classrooms and a beautiful aquatic centre open to the entire community.
This phase is the foundation of everything — once the school building is complete, the preschool can move in and Phase 2 can begin immediately.
Everything in this phase is designed to serve the community from day one and set the stage for what comes next.
Six purpose-built classrooms designed for the Kineret Tamim Academy curriculum, with flexible learning spaces and natural light throughout.
A state-of-the-art aquatic centre featuring a main pool with dedicated zones for swim lessons, lap swimming, and seniors' aqua fitness.
A dedicated kiddie pool with water features — a joyful, safe space for the youngest members of our community to learn and play.
A beautiful, purpose-designed entry and rest space for the Ctots Childhood Education Centre — warm, safe, and child-centred.
The outdoor spaces connecting all buildings — beginning to take shape as the foundation of Dorot Village's multigenerational community life.
The pool and common areas will be open to the broader Victoria community, making Phase 1 an asset for everyone from day one.
Phase 1 is the foundation of Dorot Village. Every dollar raised goes directly toward construction of the school building and Kineret Pool — tangible, lasting infrastructure for Jewish life on Vancouver Island.
Your contribution to Phase 1 puts shovels in the ground — giving KTA a permanent home and giving the whole community a world-class aquatic centre.
