Founded in 1995 and opened officially in 1996, the Odesa ORT Zhabotinski Lyceum #94 is a state secondary education institution dedicated to technological education and Jewish cultural learning. The Lyceum joined the World ORT network in 2002, enhancing its focus on STEM, IT, and innovation. In 2016, it was renamed after the renowned Jewish thinker and leader Volodymyr (Zeev) Zhabotinski, and in 2022 it officially transitioned to Lyceum status with specialized training in IT and modern technologies.

Despite operating in a war-affected region, the Lyceum continues to deliver high-quality education and maintain community engagement. Students from grades 1 to 11 benefit from an integrated approach to academic achievement, technological proficiency, and deep cultural identity. The institution remains a vibrant center for learning and Jewish life in Odesa, blending modern pedagogy with resilience and heritage.

The Lyceum follows the national Ukrainian curriculum, with particular specialization in technological education and Jewish cultural studies. Jewish subjects include Hebrew (grades 1–11) and traditions and history of the Jewish people (grades 6–8), taught using both Israeli and original curricular programs.

Students engage in a full range of general academic courses alongside a highly developed technological education program. These include author-developed methods in technology, particularly the Ministry of Education–approved “Technology” course for grades 5–9. Instruction is enhanced by ORT-supported online platforms, such as https://ort.education and https://info.ort.education, shared across the ORT network.

A wide range of co-curricular programs are available to students. From as early as grade 1, students join the “Info-knower” club. STEM Labs, lego modeling, introductory robotics, and 3D modeling courses are introduced from grades 2 to 7. The Lyceum uses cutting-edge educational technologies, including Lego Education, Arduino, Micro:bit, and drones. These hands-on experiences are complemented by high school training in computer modeling, programming, and electronics.

In 2024, the Lyceum revived its Nitzanim Theater, which now performs at Jewish holiday events. The school council supports student involvement in governance and project work, and students collaborate with local Jewish organizations including Chabad and Hillel.

​​​Jewish Education is a central pillar of life at the Lyceum. Hebrew and Jewish history are taught throughout a student’s school journey. The school community celebrates all Jewish holidays with enthusiasm and creativity - students and teachers gather every Friday for Shabbat, led by high school students who conduct prayers, lead readings, and perform music.

Classrooms are decorated before each holiday, and performances or concerts are prepared and presented school-wide. The Lyceum fosters a strong connection to Jewish identity through curriculum, tradition, and celebration.

Four times a year, the Lyceum runs a Jewish Family Club that brings together students, parents, and staff for communal learning and cultural activities.
