1)     Alexander Muss High-school in Israel: www.amiie.org

The Alexander Muss Institute for Israel Education (AMIIE) and The Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) are dedicated to engaging teens to discover, explore and embrace their connection to the history, culture and land of Israel. AMHSI offers a year-round, eight-week intensive study abroad program for high school juniors and seniors, using an interdisciplinary curriculum which strives to provide youth with a "permanent Jewish identity". Students can follow in the footsteps of more than 18,000 AMHSI alumni and discover Israel through an inspiring, life changing experience that is non-denominational and pluralistic.

 

There are six sessions annually, four operating during the school year and two during the summer. The program uses the land of Israel as "a living classroom" with on-site, on-the-move teaching. Students learn chronologically more than 4000 years of Jewish history, beginning with the Biblical period and ending with the modern Middle East. Students can enjoy a college atmosphere in co-ed dorms at their 'home away from home' at the beautiful school campus in Hod Hasharon. There is also the unique opportunity for students to take their 'sequential' high school classes in addition to the core program, so that they don't fall behind. AMHSI is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and participants may receive full high school credit and six college credits.

 

AMIIE also works with individual Jewish Day Schools to tailor programs (timing and structure) to meet their unique educational goals.

Israel's history will come alive as you learn both in the classroom and by using the land of Israel as a live "text book" on hikes and tours. For eight weeks you will live at the Goldstein Youth Village in Jerusalem. In the campus classroom, you will be introduced chronologically to each historical period. Campus class time will be interspersed with time experiencing our "classroom without walls", the Land of Israel. Generally, you will also receive full high school credit for Social Studies and English from the Israel Core Course, from individualized or small group tutorials, and from instruction in up to three sequential courses (regular, advanced or AP mathematics, science or foreign language) as required by your home school. You may also be eligible to earn up to six credits for college. An education specialist will work with you and your school to ensure a total credit exchange.
