The majority of elementary school-age children on Matityahu go to Cheder, Talmud Torah, or Beis Yakov in Kiryat Sefer. Most of these children walk the 10 minutes to and from school. Families contemplating joining Matityahu should be aware that their elementary-school-age children are expected to attend Charedi schooling in Kiryat Sefer. This is an aspect of life on Matityahu which deserves careful evaluation.

There is a wonderful Gan (kindergarten) and Maon (day care center) located on the Moshav itself. While some of the children speak mostly English among themselves, the Gan and Maon are run entirely in Hebrew. The Ganenot (kindergarten teachers) are particularly experienced in helping non-Hebrew-speaking youngsters adjust to the new language environment.

For high school and post-high school, students attend a wide range of schools and Yeshivos, located in many different parts of the country. While most Moshav boys continue after high school to learn in Yeshivos, some do serve in the army – in Nachal Charedi, Hesder or regular units. (Many men who live on the Moshav served in the IDF and continue to serve annual reserve duty.) For girls, there are two Beis Yakov high schools in Kiryat Sefer. As in most other smaller communities in Israel, many girls either commute further (e.g., Ramat Gan, Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh) or dorm for high school.
