Israel Programs WikiAlexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI)
Jewish National Fund-USA · Hod HaSharon (main campus, 20 minutes from Tel Aviv); also Be'er Sheva
Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) is a religiously flexible program in Hod HaSharon; also Be'er Sheva, for high-school students, open to men and women.
A pluralistic, fully-accredited study-abroad program for high schoolers combining general studies with experiential Israel-studies curriculum (learning history on-site at the actual locations). Offered as a semester, a shorter 'Mini-Mester', or summer sessions; students can earn college credit through the University of Miami. The Reform movement's own standalone semester program, URJ Heller High (formerly NFTY-EIE, previously based at Kibbutz Tzuba), recently merged into AMHSI due to declining enrollment -- Heller High students now live and take Jewish studies together as a track within the AMHSI campus near Tel Aviv rather than as a separate program.
Who it's for
Good for high-schoolers of any denomination who want to keep up their general studies while learning Jewish history experientially on-site; the pluralistic setting fits families who don't want a religiously-tracked program.
