A new typology of school-level values is reported in three culturalcontexts. School values were assessed by aggregating the scores of 862 students, (ages15-19) in 32 Jewish and Arab Israeli schools (Study 1), and 1,541 students (ages 11-21)from 8 European schools and 163 teachers from 6 of these schools (Study 2), usingSchwartz’s Portrait Values Questionnaire. Six school values emerged in both studies:achievement, autonomy, egalitarianism, harmony, compliance, and dominance. Theimportance of studying school-level values was demonstrated by relating the values ofcompliance and dominance to violence, and harmony values to student support measures(Study 1). Strong (minimal r = .64) school-level correlations between students ofdifferent ages and teachers supported the validity of the findings (Study 2)
