It was opened under the encouragement & support of Rabbi Moshe-Zvi Neria and was affiliated with the Bnei Akiva youth movement.[2][3] Named "Ulpana Ramat Karniel" (Karniel's height) or "Ulpana Kfar Pines", it is also called "Em HaUlpenot" (mother of all ulpenas אם האולפנות) due to it being the first Ulpana in Israel.[4] In a typical school year, the Ulpana has nearly 650 girls from 100 different locations throughout Israel. There are also tailor made programs for immigrant students form Russia, South Africa, and Ethiopia.[3] Ulpana Kfar Pines is one of two Israeli high schools to lead the list for high school diploma eligibility, with 100% of students being eligible.[5][6]
